Shingle Creek Aquatic and Shoreline Habitat Enhancement
This request will transform 1.6 miles of Shingle Creek in north Minneapolis into a functioning ecological corridor, leveraging an additional $3.27 million in planned recreational improvements.
$1,100,000 the second year is from the trust fund to the commissioner of natural resources for an agreement with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to plan and restore a section of Shingle Creek in north Minneapolis with native aquatic and shoreline vegetation, channel and bank modification, and natural stream features. This appropriation is also to monitor plant and animal health following construction to ensure that the ecological functioning of the creek corridor is restored. This appropriation is available until June 30, 2030, by which time the project must be completed and final products delivered.
