Downtown Mound Redevelopment

In 2005, the Watershed District collaborated with the City of Mound for a redevelopment project within the City to reconstruct the existing downtown business and residential district adjacent to Lost Lake and Langdon Lake.  Project partners include: City of Mound, Mound Harbor Development Group and Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church.


Project Goals:

  • Reduce phosphorus loading to Langdon Lake and Cooks Bay in Lake Minnetonka by 70%
  • Demonstrate green infrastructure using innovative stormwater management techniques, treating stormwater as an asset not a waste product
  • Model of public/private partnership in development

 


Project components:

  • Rain gardens
  • Dry creek swales
  • 16,000 sq. ft. pervious concrete parking lot at Wolner Baseball Field
  • Pervious paver parking lots at the Transit Station and True Value Hardware Store
