Temporary diversion ramp and pipe removed from Lake Calhoun, caution advised

Temporary diversion ramp and pipe removed from Lake Calhoun, caution advised

The City of Minneapolis Public Works Department, after consultation with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, will be removing a temporary pipe in early March that has been diverting stormwater from a outfall pipe in the Lagoon (between Lake of the Isles and Lake Calhoun) to the north shoreline of Lake Calhoun. In anticipation of removing the pipe, the City has removed a temporary cross-country ski ramp over the pipe this week. Due to standing water above the ice in the pipe and ramp areas, thin ice signs mark the areas affected. Cross-country skiers, walkers and anglers are urged to use caution.
