This county road is a wide, multi-lane corridor, lined with <br />a mix of commercial establishments, including shops, restaurants, <br />and service businesses. Mounds View Boulevard is essential for <br />connectivity and economic activity in downtown Mounds View, and <br />as such, it can benefit from improvements focused on enhancing <br />vehicular and pedestrian safety, and upgrading the visual and <br />functional quality of the streetscape. <br />EXISTING TRAILS <br />The existing trail system in Mounds View is designed to cater to <br />a variety of outdoor activities such as walking, running, biking, <br />and nature observation. The system connects several key points <br />of interest, such as the downtown area, major parks, schools, <br />and residential neighborhoods, promoting accessibility and <br />community engagement. Despite its strengths, the trail system can <br />be enhanced by providing more wayfinding signage, placing more <br />benches and rest areas, improving lighting, and adding new trails <br />where there are gaps in the system. <br />INTERSECTIONS AND CROSSINGS <br />The intersections and crossings along Mounds View Boulevard are <br />crucial hubs of activity, connecting major streets and facilitating <br />pedestrian and vehicular movement. While the downtown Mounds <br />View intersections are functional, improvements in signal timing, <br />traffic flow management, road conditions, and landscaping have <br />the potential to significantly enhance safety, efficiency, and <br />aesthetics along the corridor.
