Weekly Bits from the City Newsletter 10-30-09


This week's newsletter has updates from the City Manager, Finance Director, Waste Water Treatment Facility, and Parks Director. Meetings this week include a Council meeting on Monday, a Park & Trail Commission meeting on Tuesday, and a Joint Planning Board Meeting on Wednesday. The Tuesday Parks meeting is an opportunity for citizens to share ideas for a new city park on 30th Street.

Ever wonder what would happen if they pulled the pylons out at the Nymore boat access? That entire area is "accreted" land that was built on pylons and then filled in. A 1909 Sanborn map shows the land being used for the Crookston Lumber Company sawmill. Subsequent maps show the sawmill until about 1939. The pylons pop up every year and the parks department cuts them off or adds fill around them. This week, they pulled up a couple. See a picture in the newsletter.
