Another Tear In The Historic Fabric         
A little ways west of the Arcola trestle in Minnetonka Beach, the Dakota Rail Trail dog legs around somebody's front yard that now occupies the actual ROW. Good luck trying to rebuild any tracks here in the future thanks to this tear in the route's historic fabric. Sign on trail pavement is frequent, as 'Tonka Beach has a lot of street crossings.

Stephen Doyle General This is actually at my driveway. The neighbors east of us petitioned and won permission to have the trail moved away from their driveway entrance to improve visibility when exiting. We were unhappy about the re-routing because it destroyed the original ROW. 5/11/2012 11:37:11 AM
