Assuming this could be done (and not even discussing where the Park Board
would find the money to do it, and also not discussing how you could
effectively do this without doing it simultaneously to the whole chain of
lakes, from Minnetonka to Minnehaha Falls), I think it would be effective
for about 3 days -- until the next boater puts his boat into the lake,
still infested with milfoil from another lake.
From what I've read, most of the spread of milfoil has been by
people carrying it from one lake to another on their boats & canoes. Until
we are able to stop that, even completely eradicating from Lake Calhoun
would only be temporary.
