Hiawatha LRT Trail Closure

As anyone who has ridden the Hiawatha Trail lately has likely noticed, Met Transit is building a new maintenance facility to the east of the trail, between 24th and 26th streets.

As part of this project, they need to do some work on a water main that will necessitate closing the section of the trail from 24th to 26th. They will begin that closure next Monday, 10.25.10, and it will continue for up to three weeks.

Met Transit has worked with our office on the following detour:Southbound cyclists on Hiawatha take a left on 24th Street, then a right onto the new bike lanes on Minnehaha and continue south to the Greenway. Northbound cyclists who are coming across the Sabo bridge from the west continue to Minnehaha and take a left and cyclists coming from the east take a right on Minnehaha. From Minnehaha, take a left on 24th and then a right on the trail.

Please help spread the word.
