Richfield
A significant portion of the regional trail through Richfield is planned for construction in conjunction with sewer upgrade and street redesign work along 75th and 76th Streets and Diagonal Boulevard.  This work is being coordinated by the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services and is anticipated to begin summer of 2009.

Edina
The regional trail route through Edina is not yet determined. Three Rivers Park District and the City of Edina are in the process of identifying and assessing several alternative routes including routes adjacent to roads and along the Nine Mile Creek corridor. Within Edina, a primary objective of the regional trail is to provide connections to the Edina High School campus and the newly created Edina Promenade near Centennial Lakes. See more information about the planning through Edina.
