The public is invited to comment on the Glacial Hills Regional Trail Long Range Plan through an in-person open house on Monday, June 17.
The open house is scheduled from 4-6 p.m. at Marine on St. Croix Village Hall. Washington County will share proposed route alignment options and visuals. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will also be in attendance to share the progress of the Gateway State Trail Extension and listen to feedback about alignments and future local community connections.
After the in-person open house, materials from the event will be available on the project website. The public can visit the website to view an online engagement opportunity and leave comments from June 17 to June 30. There will be no formal presentation at the in-person open houses.
The Glacial Hills Regional Trail Long-Range plan will guide the vision and future development of an east-west multiuse trail through northern Washington County. The future trail will connect the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail, Big Marine Park Reserve, and William O’Brien State Park.
Project updates will be posted on the county’s website at co.washington.mn.us/GlacialHills.
