The purpose of the council action is to enter into a cooperative agreement with Hennepin <br />County and Three Rivers Park District for the design and construction of a trail extension in Navarre to <br />the Dakota Trail. <br /> <br />2. Background. In 2016 the City of Orono began <br />discussion with Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park <br />District about creating a safe connection between the Dakota <br />trail and Navarre via County Round 19. This trail extension <br />will close the gap between the Dakota and the existing <br />sidewalk that ends at Livingston thereby connecting the <br />Dakota Trail to the downtown, existing park and ride facility <br />and Navarre Park.
