The closing of Minnehaha Ave through Minnehaha Park was not a well conceived idea.  The information given to me from a phone call to the Minneapolis Parks department was that the road was closed because it had turned into a commuter route.  Trucks using the route and speeding vehicles were cited as problems.  I believe that posting the park police in the park to write tickets, instead of at the Conoco gas station on the corner of 46th and Hwy 55 would solve the problem.  No truck signs are posted as well as a speed limit signs.  Inconveniencing everyone that uses the park during the week to stop a few trucks and speeding cars is not the answer.
