2040 Comprehensive Plan: Envision Shakopee

3B Fill in trail gaps

» » Improve the connection to the river. Huber Park is currently the best access point, but the current crossing at CSAH 101 is uncomfortable. Memorial Park had historically provided access to the Minnesota Valley State Trail, but with the loss of the bridge over a small river branch near the park this connection is now missing. » » Prioritize bridges and underpasses for crossing wide roads. Prioritize underpasses and bridges for specified roadway types » » Establish a roadway width distance or number of lanes that should receive pedestrian friendly infrastructure to enable safe crossing across wide streets Integrate multimodal transportation into Downtown planning efforts

» » Stagecoach Rd is the sole walking and biking connection across U.S. Highway 169 on the eastern end of Shakopee. It provides a crucial non-motorized link between Savage and the trail crossing of the Minnesota River near U.S. Highway 169; yet it is one of only a handful of major streets in Shakopee without a parallel trail within its right- of-way » » A combination of trail segments through neighborhoods provides an east/west route between Marystown Road and Eagle Creek Boulevard. The intersection at Hauer Trail/ Eagle Creek Boulevard does not provide a comfortable crossing to the trail along Eagle Creek Boulevard. » » Within Shakopee’s historic core, where trail design and construction is made more complicated by frequent intersections and driveway crossings, on-street facilities such as bike lanes or bicycle boulevards could provide an option for people bicycling, with sidewalks accommodating pedestrians. Prioritize access to parks, schools and other short trips
