The Wooddale Path Design Review Open House will be held at 6:15PM at the Edina Public Works Building, 7450 Metro Blvd.

The open house immediately precedes the annual Lake Nancy Lake Association meeting in the same location, starting at 6:45PM. Staff will remain for a Q&A session at the beginning of the Lake Association meeting. All are welcome to attend the open house and opening Q&A session, it is not exclusive to Lake Association members.

The concept design will be posted to this project page in advance of the meeting. Copies of the concept design will also be available at the open house.

The Wooddale path project was featured in the Sun Current today. Check it out here.

Local waterbodies were heavily altered in the late 1950s/1960s with the construction of crosstown Highway 62. The Wooddale walking path that bisects present day Lake Nancy and Otto Pond was constructed in 1962. Check out the historic aerial photos here.

The Lake Nancy Lake Association hosted a discussion at the Wooddale Path yesterday with Engineering Director Chad Millner and Water Resources Manager Jessica Wilson. We talked about safety, the environment, protecting the shoreline, and the MnDOT bridge over Highway 62. It was a good opportunity to share the new Wooddale Path Landscape Restoration Project with the group.

In true Minnesota style, a lot of treats were provided and there were a lot of leftovers. Thanks for sharing with the Engineering Department!
