For the latest news on the remediation taking place at Bridal Veil Creek, see this article in The Bridge.
Bridal Veil Creek once drained the neighborhoods of St. Anthony Park, Southeast Como (Minneapolis), Prospect Park, portions of St. Anthony Village, the Hamline-Midway neighborhood and Lauderdale. Today the creek flows mainly through the Minneapolis sewer system and emerges under the Franklin Avenue bridge as Bridal Veil Falls, where it cascades into the Mississippi River more than a hundred feet below. The Community Council participated in a study that looked at both hydrologic and ecosystem aspects of the Bridal Veil Creek Watershed. We hired Kestrel and Wenck consulting to conduct the study and partnered with them to hold an Experts Forum to kick-off the study through neighborhood stories of the old ponds, lakes and streams. The study is available at the SAPCC office. Please contact us for more information.
