Rice Marsh Lake Trail Loop <br /> Chanhassen and Eden Prairie,Minnesota <br /> KRBw <br /> AV .. <br /> r. <br /> r r <br /> c � <br /> iw <br /> 5 <br /> After years of planning,the Rice Marsh Lake Trail Loop is now complete. The trail is a3.4 <br /> mile multipurpose pedestrian loop encircling Rice Marsh Lake in Chanhassen and Eden <br /> REFERENCE Prairie. Half of the Rice Marsh Lake Trail Loop is located within Chanhassen,and half <br /> Todd Hoffman is located in Eden Prairie. Initial planning for the trail loop began in the 1970s and the <br /> Parks and Recreation Director <br /> northerly segments were completed in the 1980s.Since then,the cities of Eden Prairie and <br /> City of Chanhassen Chanhassen have worked together to ensure the trail loop's completion. <br /> 952-227-1129 HKGi assisted the City of Chanhassen in the design, bidding,and construction <br /> thoffman@ci.chanhassen.mn.us administration of the last remaining section of the loop in 2013.Sensitive field locating <br /> of the trail saved many of the old oak and maple trees that make this trail so spectacular. <br /> Routing the trail alignment to work within multiple easements was an additional challenge. <br /> Ultimately,HKGi designed the trail not only to meet MNDOT standards,awarding it <br /> an easement through MNDOT land,but also negotiated the adjustment of a private <br /> landowner's easement in order to save 100 year old oaks. <br /> The trail offers spectacular views of Rice Marsh Lake and provides a nature-based trail <br /> experience featuring rolling terrain,forests,meadows and wetlands. <br /> RIVERS EDGE COMMONS EXPANSION PROPOSAL 19 <br />
