December 4, 2010, Saturday - Minneapolis Riverfront Corporation Guided Walk

No plans for 10:00am to 11:00am on Saturday, December 4?  How about some fresh air and exercise!

Experts are studying whether a waterfall may be restored to St. Anthony Falls’ East Channel, just below Main Street.  Join the Minneapolis Riverfront Corporation for a walk and information on this topic.

Restoring the East Channel Falls: Shaping our Riverfront Future

Guides:
David Wiggins, Park Ranger National Park Service
Cordelia Pierson, Minneapolis Riverfront Corporation

On this walk, we will look closely at the limestone faces proposed for restoring a waterfall to the East Channel of the Mississippi River.  We will review historical photographs and maps to understand the channel’s natural and industrial past and its possible future.

Meeting Place:
300 Main Street Southeast, by the “Lower Trail” sign on Main Street, across from the Pillsbury A Mill, a National Landmark.  Off-trail shoes are required.

Registration:
Please register today: Email Cordelia.pierson@gmail.com with your name and number of people with you to receive confirmation by email.  Program is free; donations are welcome to the Minneapolis Riverfront Corporation, a charitable organization.

This walk will help orient you for a public meeting:
December 9, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m., at Mill City Museum, you can learn about the proposal from Barr Engineering, and learn about other current riverfront projects.  All are welcome.
