I think that this should also be the long term vision of the City and I hope that David and others do consider it hopeless in light of all the concerns, costs and problems. I am wondering if anyone knows much about Bridal Veil Creek in South East Mpls. I know there is a Bridal Veil Pond (very polluted) in the South East Como industrial park and a Bridal Veil Falls (rather attractive actually, especially when seen from the river) that flows into the Mississippi just north of the Franklin Ave Bridge on the East bank. It is my understanding that long ago there was a creek connecting the two. Now it seems a real shame that we have lost it almost completely. Maybe, once we daylight Bassett Creek (and I hope I live to see it) we can turn our attention to Bridal Veil and other smaller creeks that may be out there. Does anyone know of others?
