Smithtown Road (West) Trail /Sidewalk
Follow -up Meeting
Last November, the City hosted an open house meeting at Minnewashta
Elementary School announcing the proposed construction of a new trail/sidewalk
on the south side of Smithtown Road from the Shorewood /Victoria border east to
the South Lake Minnetonka LRT Trail. The meeting was well received and the
City Council directed city staff to prepare plans for a project to commence in the
summer of 2013.
Plans have now progressed to a point where the City is holding a follow -up open
house meeting to present the plans to those property owners most affected by the
project. The follow -up open house is scheduled for Wednesday, March 13,
2013, in the Media Center at Minnewashta Elementary School, 26350
Smithtown Road, from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. City Staff will be available to
present the plans on a property -by- property basis as necessary, and to answer
questions owners may have regarding the project or the construction schedule. For
those interested in the project that cannot make it to the open house, staff is
available to meet individually with them by appointment.
There will be one more neighborhood meeting scheduled for late May to discuss
preconstruction issues with property owners and interested residents. Anyone with
questions regarding these meetings is encouraged to contact the Shorewood
Planning Director, Brad Nielsen, by phone: 952- 960 -7912 or by e -mail:
