Woodland Trails Regional Park Improvements <br /> It has been discussed to gather the stakeholders of Woodland Trails Regional Park to review the <br /> improvements and designs we many want to consider. This is for our full request of$362,000 in <br /> funding through the Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission (GMRPTC) and a city <br /> matching grant of$125,000. The approved project within the park will consist of the installation of <br /> a children's nature play area,a picnic shelter capable of accommodating groups of approximately 50- <br /> people, trailhead improvements and wayfinding signage,updates to the biathlon range to <br /> incorporate archery and invasive species removal. <br /> The DNR and the GMPRTC encourages public input to the process. They have indicated to us that <br /> the city should not do any planning until we receive a fully executed agreement which will not <br /> happen until after the legislature approves funding during their 2018 session. Staff is recommending <br /> that the city hold 1 or 2 public meetings with the Commission beginning this September 2018. We <br /> will keep you posted on this process. <br /> Riverfront Concert Series 2017 <br /> The Riverfront Concert Series is confirmed for ten concerts on the following dates: <br /> June 14 Rockin' Hollywood's <br /> June 21 The Band that Fell to Earth (David Bowie tribute) <br /> June 28 Country Roads (John Denver tribute) <br /> July 5 No Concert <br /> July 12 Shane Martin <br /> July 19 Ventriloquist and the Minneapolis Police Band <br /> July 26 A Hard Days Night (Beatles tribute) <br /> August 2 Forever Elvis <br /> August 9 Fabulous Armadillos <br /> August 16 Arch Allies (Styx and Journey tribute) <br /> August 23 Elton Songs (Elton John tribute) <br /> All of the concerts are held at Rivers Edge Commons Park at 7:00 pm on Thursday evenings.
