New project will naturalize and stabilize Kenilworth Channel

Virtual information session scheduled August 20, 4-5:30 pm online via Zoom

Construction activity scheduled fall 2021

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is progressing on a project that will enhance the Kenilworth Channel between the Burnham Road Bridge and Cedar Lake.

The project will naturalize and stabilize the channel shoreline and add valuable habitat to the area. The ecologically-based bank solution to repairing the dilapidated channel walls will be designed with consideration for resiliency, public safety and aquatic and habitat benefit.

Construction is anticipated in late fall 2021. View the project concept design by clicking or tapping the illustration above or the link below:
