Thanks! I’ll check out the website today. I’m planning a visit next week and was hoping to find free things for my kids to do, this will help out immensely.

Comment on A Play Date at the Victory Prairie Dog Park by Ryan Hogan

I’ve been to this park a few times now, and it’s been only me and my dog present. I really want this to take off, but a field’s not a dog park unless there’re dogs there. Am I just going at the wrong times, or is this park generally unvisited?

Important information. People should take a look in this map to know the best area for investments

Comment on Closing the Camden Bridge in Early 2010 by Phillip Knoll

I propose we build an impromptu zipline across the river. Enterprising residents desiring to reach the other side can simply climb a tree at North Mississippi park and be whisked away on the wings of gravity to the riverbank the other side, and vice versa.

Perhaps we can even capture some of the savings from the complete bridge closures to purchase a large amount of pillows to ensure a soft landing on either side! A foolproof idea if there ever was one. Why this didn’t come up in the bridge closure plans up to this point is beyond me.

What about leaving one sidewalk open to bikes and pedestrians? Biking up to 694 or down to Plymouth adds many extra miles to a biking commute and would be impossible for a walker.

The concrete deck on the Camden bridge is shot (and so are the steel railings). They’ve been spending two months patching it up each spring for the past several years, and it just keeps deteriorating even more rapidly. As the city has been throwing good money after bad on this bridge for so long, this rehab/rebuild is years overdue.

Unfortunately, the timing is awful. While they were busy playing political games and postponing this project, old man river was busy washing the 100 year old piers out from under the Lowry bridge. It’s going to suck having both the Lowry and the Camden bridges out.

The Plymouth bridge is a good alternate to the Broadway bridge if you’re driving. Traffic is much lighter than Broadway; use it if you can. If you’re walking, God help you. I just hope nobody with the bright idea to walk across one of the railroad bridges gets killed.

Congrats, really a great idea.

Comment on BREAKING NEWS – Hennepin County Library on Hold! by Anne Peiffer

I believe that the need for this library within the community is strong enough that plans should go forward using the space that has been acquired so far. If the new library can’t front onto the parkway as a result, okay it can’t. That is too bad, but the neighborhood should not have to suffer a dirth of resources because of it. There is a great deal of room at the proposed site, far more than is available at the current Webber Park site and it is far more visible and accessible. We need the asset more than we need the asthetics!

How truly sad this turn of events is for the Webber-Camden community! I’ve attended several neighborhood association meetings this year and listened with growing anticipation to information about the proposed library.

The potential loss of this library is truly a loss to the entire neighborhood.
