Overview
The Lexington Avenue Pathway is the main north/south spine of the City. The corridor consists of both bituminous path and concrete sidewalk running from Larpenteur Avenue north through Roseville and into Shoreview. Shoreview’s development of this pathway corridor provides a wonderful opportunity to create a regional north/south link.
In 2021, the Council approved adding multiple segments to the Lexington Avenue Pathway to the Pathway Master Plan in order to fill the gaps of this main pedestrian corridor.
As of spring of 2025 plans are being finalized for an approximately 650 foot long, 8-foot wide, concrete pathway to fill the gap between County Road B and Sherren Street. This work will include the relocation of utilities, installation of a retaining wall, ADA improvements, and associated stormwater utility work.
The construction of the trail will be paid through a 50/50 cost sharing agreement with Ramsey County and the City. There will be no cost or assessment to property owners.
