Minneapolis Midtown Greenway The Minneapolis Midtown Greenway is a 5.5-mile trail in south Minneapolis that runs along an old rail corridor. Used by both people on foot and on bicycles, this greenway provides a protected transportation and recreation option to a diverse cross section of the Minneapolis community. It serves as an important connector, linking to paths around the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park and the Southwest LRT trail while simultaneously making local destinations more accessible.
Key to Success
Over the past two decades, property values within 500 feet of the greenway have increased by $1.8 billion and $30 million in property taxes were collected in the Greenway area in 2021.9
The greenway is plowed in the winter and lit at night which makes it usable during all hours of the day and all times of the year.
