About the Grand Rounds Missing Link
The Grand Rounds is a 51-mile connected system of parks, trails, and parkways in Minneapolis that encircles most of the city. It's recognized as both a State and National Scenic Byway and includes trails and roadway along the Mississippi River, Minnehaha Creek, the Chain of Lakes, Theodore Wirth Park, Victory Memorial and St. Anthony Parkways, and many more parks and natural features.
However, there’s a gap in Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis that has existed for 140+ years. This gap is known as the “Missing Link.”
New concepts for the Grand Rounds Missing Link focus on the development of a regional trail and new parkland opportunities throughout the corridor, including the city of Saint Anthony Village and the Mid-City Industrial, Como, and Prospect Park neighborhoods. The trail route is based on the regional trail plan, which was adopted in 2019 by the MPRB and Met Council.
Use the link below to explore the proposed design concepts through a virtual tour or interactive map and share your thoughts using a public comment map.
