| Have you seen the big Rain Garden? |
A large rain garden was
installed at the intersection at 41st, Abbott and Beard Avenues by Boy Scout Troop #567 as
part of Ryan Oliver’s Eagle Scout Project. It took two days to establish the
soils and do the planting. After heavy rains water will be held here and filtered
back through the plants for improved water quality. Pictures |

| Yard Waste Pick-up -New State regulations |
| Waste Management has begun collecting yard waste for the season and will
pick up on your regular service day. Per state law bagged yard waste
must be placed in compostable bags (see article on new law below). Waste Management will
no longer be able to collect yard waste in noncompostable plastic bags. You
may continue to place your yard waste in a separate can with a label marked compost or
yard waste. |
|
| Emerald Ash Borer Quarantine |
| Although there continues to be an Emerald Ash Borer quarantine in Hennepin
County and other areas of Minnesota, Waste Management reports that Robbinsdale residents
do not have to separate their Ash Tree brush from their regular yard waste. The
reason is because Waste Management takes the yard waste to a facility that grinds it up to
prevent the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer. |

| What's Happening on West Broadway? |
| Walgreens is
constructing a new building with a drive-thru at 41st Avenue-they anticipate relocating to
the new location this fall. The
signal at 41st has been turned off due to electrical changes related to Walgreen's new
building. Monitoring of the intersection will continue until after Walgreens has opened.
There are all-way stop signs at 40th, 40
1/2, and 41 1/2. The traffic signals were originally installed at 41st when West Broadway
carried most of the traffic vs. County Road 81. If it is decided that the signals are
needed at this intersection, the City will have to purchase a new signal operation box as
the old components are too aged to move.The old box kept us from having a useable
sidewalk. |
