City Council Work Session Memo
MEETING DATE: January 21, 2025
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: River to River Greenway Update
ACTION REQUEST:
City staff, joined by Dakota County staff and the shared consultant, are seeking feedback from
City Council on the plans and impacts for the proposed River to River Greenway project
through Valley Park.
BACKGROUND:
City and Dakota County staff have worked with SEH, the engineering and design consultant, to
procure plans for the River to River Greenway through Valley Park between Marie Avenue and
Lilydale Road. Dakota County developed a Master Plan for this Greenway in 2015 which was
supported by the Mendota Heights City Council under resolution 2015-39 and includes the
segment through Valley Park. As the Project Management Team (PMT) is nearing final plan
production, the PMT desires to share the plans with the Council to discuss impacts on trees
and desired features through the park ahead of finalizing the plan set.
Dakota County staff have prepared a presentation summarizing the proposed scope of
improvements and will highlight key areas with significant impacts and additional features that
are not present today for discussion with the City Council.
