TRAIL CONSTRUCTION: River Parks Authority began phase III of River Trails improvements on Friday, June 13th. Phase III will provide new trails from 31st to 48th Street along Riverside Drive and improvements to the plaza at 41st and Riverside. Trails will be fenced and closed from 31st and Riverside to 48th Street. The parking lot at 41st at Riverside Drive will also be closed as construction begins on the new plaza donated by QuikTrip Corporation. Demolition of these areas and delivery of materials will begin immediately. No public access will be permitted. QuikTrip plans to dedicate the plaza on Thursday, September 25, 2008 as a part of the corporation’s 50th anniversary festivities.

31ST STREET PARKING AREA: The majority of the parking lot located at 31st and Riverside Drive has been closed off to allow the City to make major repairs to a nearby sewer line. Parking is available along the drive which leads from 31st to the main lot, and park users will have access to the trail system while repairs are underway.
