In collaboration with Hennepin County, the City of Minnetonka is planning to reconstruct Excelsior Boulevard (CSAH 3) from County Road 101 to Williston Road.

At this time, the proposed improvements include:

  • installation of a new, multi-use trail
  • roadway reconstruction
  • watermain replacement
  • storm sewer improvements
  • overhead power burial

This project was initiated by the city as part of a trail expansion project along this corridor, which is identified in the Trail Improvement Plan. By combining the roadway, utility and trail improvements into one project, the project team can more efficiently meet both city and county goals and reduce construction impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods.
