Weigh in on potential design choices for a new Mississippi River trail bridge and new park spaces at either end of the bridge

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is excited to share progress on the Mississippi Recreational Trail Bridge project, which plans to link North and Northeast Minneapolis with a new bridge and park spaces.

The design team is looking for feedback on the bridge’s appearance and concepts for a new 1.9-acre park site along Marshall Street NE. Use the link below to take an online survey:

Mississippi Recreation Trail Bridge Survey

The survey closes April 8, 2024. After that, the design team will summarize responses and use the feedback to create a preferred bridge design and concept for the park spaces. This preferred concept will be created over the next few months, then presented to the public and MPRB Commissioners later in 2024.

Previous Work

The MPRB hosted two open houses and a site tour at the end of January, then an another open house in March. A set of concepts for the bridge crossing and the two park spaces on each side of the river were developed using feedback received during the project’s early visioning work and the open houses and site tour.
