River bike trail gains traction in Bloomington
A new trail could run for 13 miles along the Minnesota River, linking up with other existing and planned trails around the city. Imagine being able to hop on a bike at Fort Snelling and pedal for hours on a quiet trail along the Minnesota River, winding all the way to Le Sueur, 72 miles upriver. The state authorized building the trail in 1969, but progress has been slow. There has been little money for development, and the unlinked segments of trail that have been built are mostly dirt. Now the project is getting a boost from the city of Bloomington, which in its draft alternative transportation plan declares the Minnesota River Trail Corridor its top trail priority.
