>Hello Rosalind Nelson:
>
>Regarding your question below - the bike trail is being removed for the
>Hiawatha LRT construction. I should note that the LRT project will replace
>and improve the bike trail. After construction is completed there will be a
>new paved off-street trail from 28th Street (Midtown Greenway) to 11th
>Avenue (just east of the Dome).
>
>During LRT construction, bicyclists have an existing alternative to get from
>Cedar-Riverside to Downtown - Near the same railroad corridor at the 15th
>Avenue/6th Street intersection proceed south (towards I-94) and cross over
>the tracks. Immediately to your right is an existing sidewalk and path that
>bridge over I-35W paralleling 5th Street south. This will connect with 11th
>Avenue about one long block south of your former route. Other alternatives
>to cross the maze of freeways are Washington and Franklin Avenue.
>
>Let me know if you have any further questions.
