Wentworth Avenue (County Road 8) Trail Gap Construction

County Project 08-035

Dakota County and West St. Paul are constructing a new section of trail on the south side of Wentworth Avenue between Robert Street and Oakdale Avenue. This project will fill in a 2,200-foot gap in the local trail system.

Because the trail is not finished, people who walk, bike ​or use wheelchairs do not have a safe, dedicated path to use between Robert Street and Oakdale Avenue. ​This will make the area safer and help people reach local businesses and jobs more easily. It will also connect this trail to other trails nearby.
