ATC Playground Crawl
Come join us for a tour of some of the great parks accessible by bike via the North Cedar Lake Trail. We will meet at the Bryn Mawr Meadows Playground at 10am May 24th. From there, we will head west on the N. Cedar Lake Trail stopping at every 2 miles or so at a playground for a small shared snack and some playtime. We plan on 2-3 parks and 12-15 miles on the bike. That might seem like a lot to you, but with snacks and play breaks, you'd be amazed at what kids can do on their bikes. The ride leader will have a cargo bike to transport snacks and maybe even a kid or two. If you have questions, or would like to plan a snack to bring, please email Joshua at josh.nichols@bmna.org.
Mulch/Garden Day
It's hard to believe it has been two years since we last visited the hedge hillside to distribute a fresh layer of mulch! Yep, the task is here again and the BMNA is asking for volunteers to help spread 15 cubic yards of mulch around the topiary hedge shrubs. The neighborhood enthusiasm and appreciation for the hedge has helped greatly in the past with many dedicated volunteers stepping up to help! The more the merrier for this event!
We will also be planting the downtown annual planters on Saturday. We were able to pick up several flats from the overflow of the Bryn Mawr School plant sale, and will be picking up more varieties. For those with a flair and interest for arranging and planting, this one is for you!
Here are the details:
When: Saturday May 17th, meet at the hill side
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Bring what you have available such as:
Tools: large tarps work well to pull mulch up the hill, pitch forks, wheelbarrow, scoop shovels, garden rakes
Shoes: wear tight fitting shoes so your foot doesn't roll in your shoe
Clothing: the weather forecast looks favorable for a cool morning, advise wearing loose clothing and gloves
Water is advised as well.
Thank you in advance and we hope to see you Saturday morning May 17th!
Bridge Opening Celebration
This Friday, 5/16, at 5:30pm, join the Active Transportation Committee in celebrating the opening of the Luce Line bridge! The bridge connects Bryn Mawr Meadows Park to downtown Minneapolis, and was recently reconstructed as part of the SWLRT/Green Line Extension. Whether you are bike commuting or simply out for a walk, come hang out and enjoy the views from the bridge! See you there! Questions? Contact activetransit@bmna.org
