Elk River Downtown Area Plan - Community Survey <br />57 / 68 <br />39 The farmers market needs c hairs and tables to vis it and recreate, maybe some food truc k s 8/29/2024 9:57 PM <br />40 Needs a legit , easily-acces s ible, public parking ramp.8/29/2024 3:38 PM <br />41 Traffic is heavy and there no where to secure bikes 8/29/2024 12:42 PM <br />42 Please fix the corner it’s hard t o s ee with the parking and traffic coming from all sides 8/28/2024 10:29 PM <br />43 Interactive businesses /wntertainment (I.e. bowling, game room (Dav e and bus ter lik e), indoor <br />waterpark ), other winter indoor activities. <br />8/28/2024 8:56 PM <br />44 I lov e downt own Elk Riv er, but when ev ents are happening it can be diff icult to get around and <br />find a parking s pot. Maybe more loc al shops or a new restaurant. <br />8/28/2024 7:02 PM <br />45 We love downtown Elk River & s pecific ally dec ided to liv e here because we wanted a small <br />town with an old downtown area. Would lov e to see more restaurants downtown! We lov e t he <br />addition of the Edge & would love to s ee more unique loc al plac es lik e that . <br />8/28/2024 5:17 PM <br />46 The bridge of f paris h bac k s up so badly I would think that would be the firs t priority before <br />anyt hing els e c an really be addressed. The bridge traf fic backs up being able to access <br />downtown or causes me to drive around it to avoid. <br />8/28/2024 4:19 PM <br />47 It would be great to have more f ood options. The loss of Daddyo’s was huge!8/28/2024 1:08 PM <br />48 I feel like I'm always heading out t o neighboring towns to find the good dining ex periences that <br />aren't a chain or fas t food. We have a c ouple great places to eat here, but not enough in my <br />opinion! <br />8/28/2024 12:59 PM <br />49 Mak e the area of Main Street (by the shops ) easier to get through by vehic le. The area bac k s <br />up in rus h hour and becomes almost impossible to get through. <br />8/28/2024 12:06 PM <br />50 Riv ers Edge Commons Park needs to have a public res troom and indoor c hanging area for the <br />weddings and bands <br />8/28/2024 12:01 PM <br />51 We need more modern st ores in elk River, lik e Homegoods / mars hals etc 8/28/2024 11:53 AM <br />52 Need a grade s eparated pedes trian crossing at adjac ent to Main Street over TH10 and RR <br />tracks . <br />8/28/2024 10:17 AM <br />53 A high quality sandwich shop with options to order at c ounter then either sit ins ide and eat, or <br />tak e to go would be fabulous! <br />8/28/2024 10:03 AM <br />54 Don’t los e, keep and maintain the Historic bldgs and vibrant Elk River history.8/28/2024 9:50 AM <br />55 Leave it alone, look s great how it is.8/28/2024 9:49 AM <br />56 We look for family-friendly and kid-friendly things to do, and fun outdoor s paces 8/28/2024 9:44 AM <br />57 Would lov e to see roof top dec k s on rest aurants located on the river. Better views.8/28/2024 9:33 AM <br />58 That inters ec tion by 10 and Wright count y bridge 42. That needs something different there not <br />sure if a round about would be good or something different. Hopefully when 169 gets done it <br />gets bett er but I still s ee it will be busy. <br />8/28/2024 9:23 AM <br />59 I’d love for downtown to utilize the riv erfront for areas to sit and have a drink with friends to <br />enjoy the beaut iful setting <br />8/28/2024 9:19 AM <br />60 Please fix the traffic situation with the stoplights on highway 10 and the roads to it.8/28/2024 9:16 AM <br />61 Would lov e to see some ex isting bus inesses spruce up external appearance to add t o the <br />overall look and feel of downtown. Some bus iness es look great while ot hers are falling apart. <br />8/27/2024 9:23 PM <br />62 The hardest part about getting downtown by bike and walk ing is t he c onnection t o my <br />neighborhood to the trail sy s tem. Biking or walking along County 1 or 33 is not s afe t o get to a <br />trail. There is not enough parking when there are large ev ents . I have not been to the <br />entertainment for many y ears due t o the lac k of park ing and not enough s eating. <br />8/27/2024 6:13 PM <br />63 Try to get bus iness to take the v ac ant areas and more restaurants to make a more reas on to <br />go downtown <br />8/27/2024 2:11 PM <br />64 I feel like so many bus iness es are leav ing Elk Riv er and very few are looking at Elk Riv er. <br />There is little retail shopping, the variety of sit-down, cas ual dining establis hments is limited.
