ADA Transition Plan: Your Input Needed

The City is creating a plan to make our programs, services, and activities more accessible, and we need your help! Take the short public feedback survey to share your thoughts on accessibility in Mendota Heights. Then, check out the public comment map to see which City-owned curb ramps, pedestrian signals, and sidewalks are ADA-complaint. You can also leave comments on the map to share your feedback on specific locations. Thanks for participating!

Valley Park Trail Closure

Valley Park Trail is closed for construction of the River to River Greenway trail segment between Marie Avenue and Lilydale Road. This is a hard closure for the remainder of the summer, as crews will be replacing multiple bridges along the trail. Please obey posted closure signs, for your safety.

Electric Bike Age Requirements

Minnesota state law states you must be 15 years of age to use an e-bike; however, certain classes of e-bikes require operators to be 18 years of age.
