    Summary of the 2019 Minnesota State Trail Visitor Study

    Summary of the 2019 Minnesota State Trail Visitor Study In Minnesota, paved state trails serve about 1.2 million visitors each summer. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) administered a trail intercept survey to 1,561 visitors throughout the summer of 2019 to better understand visitor satisfaction, how they used state trails, their opinions on investment and funding, and their demographics. Below are key takeaways from the survey. Root River State Trail Visitor satisfaction Given that providing high-quality experiences is a cornerstone of the DNR’s efforts to attract new and current visitors to state trails, how satisfied are people with Minnesota state trails? Overall, trail users were highly satisfied with their experiences. The majority were also satisfied with specific aspects of the trails, such as how well they were maintained and the availability of amenities, such as toilet facilities. Of those trail visitors who were not completely satisfied, the most common suggestion was the need to improve trail surface conditions, such as fixing potholes and cracks. Blank Blank Blank blank More than 90% of visitors reported The most commonly suggested being completely satisfied or very improvement was that trail surface satisfied with their overall experience. + conditions needed improving (e.g., potholes, cracks). More than 90% of visitors indicated More than 80% of visitors reported that different aspects of state trails, that the availability of trail amenities including trail maintenance, trail was at least acceptable; 36% reported surface, and amenities were at least that drinking water availability was acceptable. poor or very poor.

Council Work Session Memorandum TO: City Council FROM: Tim Murray, City Administrator MEETING DATE: April 6, 2021 SUBJECT: South Central Minnesota Passenger Rail Initiative Discussion: A bill was introduced by Rep. Todd Lippert of Northfield this legislative session (HF 1393) that is requesting $500,000 in funding to prepare a feasibility study and alternatives analysis of a passenger rail corridor connecting Minneapolis and St. Paul to Albert Lea on existing rail line and passing through Faribault and Northfield. Northfield City Councilmember Suzie Nakasian recently reached out to Mayor Voracek regarding this initiative, and Northfield City Administrator Ben Martig has provided the materials they prepared in support of the bill. They are requesting that the Faribault City Council consider adopting a resolution to be submitted in support of the bill. A similar rail proposal was discussed in 2015, but was never funded so a feasibility study was never completed. Support for that proposal included the City of Faribault as well as 40+/- other stakeholders.

Sometimes this is the park naturalist, who has vigilantly cataloged and researched every knoll and valley within a park. Other times it is a trail user, whose quality of life has been so deeply enriched with experiences of peddling among the trees that she has rallied a group of fellow conservationists together to protect it for the future. In 2012 we got to work very closely with the men and women who make up the Friends of the Mill Towns State Trail. It has been a real pleasure to work beside these individuals to ensure this trail becomes a reality. Blazing trails requires determination; already, 12 years have passed since the Mill Towns State Trail was authorized, and most of the trail remains as simply an idea on paper. There would likely be no segment of trail completed without the efforts of the Friends of Mill Towns State Trail. And their continued efforts will eventually see people experiencing the benefits of a connected system of trail spanning 85 miles through natural splendor starting in Red Wing, MN and ending in Mankato, MN.
