Citywide Trail Gap Improvements (Park Bond Referendum)

The City of Lakeville’s Park Bond Referendum included construction of 3.75 miles of pedestrian trails to improve safety, connectivity and close existing gaps citywide. The trails that are proposed to be constructed in 2023/2024 are located in the following areas:

• West side of Kenyon Avenue from Kingsway Path to 178th Street
• Chadwick Conservation Area Trail from Jacquard Avenue to Dodd Boulevard
• South side of 175th Street from Junelle Path to Jasmine Avenue
• West side of Highview Avenue from 172nd Street to 168th Street
• East side of Holyoke Avenue/Highview Avenue from Heritage Drive to 185th Street

Project Timeline

• Discovery: February–May 2022: Data collection (surveying, soil borings) and preliminary design
• June 2022: Meet with impacted property owners to gather feedback
• Design: July–December 2022: Final design of the selected improvements
• 2023/2024: Construction completed on most segments (Kenyon Avenue, Chadwick Conservation Area, 175th Street, Holyoke Avenue)
• 2025/2026: Construction activities began and were halted on both the Cedar and Highview segments due to soil issues and unexpected price increases that made construction non-feasible
• Estimated construction: Construction of the Cedar and Highview segments is estimated to be complete 2026 after redesign and rebidding

Trails are also a part of the 2026 Miscellaneous Road Repairs and Overlays project. Click here to learn more.
