RiverLake Greenway
The RiverLake Greenway is a bike and pedestrian corridor in south Minneapolis. It runs east-west along stretches of 40th Street East and 42nd Street East, about midway between the Midtown Greenway and the Minnehaha Creek corridor.
The bike walk corridor features several unique infrastructure improvements designed to aid safety and accessibility for bicyclists and pedestrians. It has striped bike lanes at its eastern and western ends, and the region’s first bicycle boulevard in the middle, along the greenway’s longest segment.
