Wright County Begins Trail and Bikeway Planning Process

Here is your chance! 

Wright County has begun the process of creating a Trails and Bikeways Master Plan to improve county-wide connectivity and to foster active living. 

The community is invited to attend any one of four community meetings to kick-off the master planning process.  The meetings will allow the public to provide input on county-wide trail and bikeway needs, opportunities and priorities.  The master planning process is expected to last six months, when complete, the Wright County Trail and Bikeway Plan will be a clear guide to future bikeway and trails development, policies, funding, operations, and implementation. For more information, visit the County website http://www.co.wright.mn.us/department/parks/parkprojects.asp


Community members are also encouraged to provide input by filling out an on-line Pedestrian and Bicycle questionnaire.  To fill out the questionnaire visit http://wrightcotrailsbikeways.questionpro.com/

The open houses will held jointly with separate, but concurrent, City Park and trail planning projects in Buffalo, Howard Lake, and Albertville. Residents are encouraged to drop in anytime during the open house to provide input to the planning team and learn more about the project.  There will be a short trails and bikeways best practices presentation at each open house.  All four open houses will have the same format and information.
