Well, I spent an afternoon walking around Calhoun and talking to people about what they thought about closing the parkways around Calhoun, and Lake of the Isles and part of Victor Memorial Parkway the last Sunday of each month.
WOW. It was really odd to walk around Calhoun and hear no vehicles, blaring radio, bass beats, and/or loud motorcycles yesterday! Have to say I personally liked it. Have to also say that of the users I talked to, only one out of like 75 people didn't! Course, I didn't get to talk to the folks that could not drive around the lake when the wanted to. They probably had a different opinion. One critique I would have of the event would be that most folks didn't know about it. Although announcements appeared in the Star Tribune and SW Journal as well as a mailing, it sure would have been nice if we could have gotten the word out more. Better signs in the parks would be a good idea and hopefully will happen before the next event next month. I will look into it. Well, with all the questions Park Police and Concessions folks were answering, hopefully, more folks will know about it in the future. Just wanted to ask the list group if anyone else walked around the lakes or up on victor memorial yesterday and had any thoughts and/or suggestions?!?
