The city invites community members to attend a pop‑up public engagement event for the Resilient Cove River Project from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 16 in Old Grove Park, 1 Palace St., near the park’s main facilities building.
The drop‑in event allows visitors to stop by at any time during the scheduled hours.
The event is part of the Resilient Cove River Project, which examines the river’s path from the Maltby Lakes to the Lower Lake Phipps area.
Decades of development and engineered changes have altered the river’s natural flow, resulting in degraded habitats and increased flooding risks.
In partnership with SLR Consulting, the city is exploring ways to restore the river, reduce flood impacts and improve public access.
The family‑friendly event invites residents to learn about the project, connect with the project team, and share input on their experiences, challenges and aspirations for the river.
Activities will include trivia, interactive mapping, and polling exercises that allow participants to provide feedback on how they experience the river today and how they envision its future.
Community input gathered at the event will help guide ongoing planning efforts and ensure the project reflects local priorities and values.
