Cedar-Isles Master Plan Update
CIDNA has a vital interest in this plan, because it will determine the 20-year future of Cedar Lake — which is already eutrophic, and Lake of the Isles. (Learn more)

The Park Board has begun presenting its preferred concept for the Cedar-Isles Master Plan. You can read it here. 

They have two more open house events scheduled:
Thursday, July 14, 4:30-6:30 pm at Cedar Lake South Beach
Saturday, July 16, 9-11 am at Lake of the Isles Parkway and Euclid Place
 
Park board staff will walk through their proposed design and answer questions from CAC members. Public comments will be accepted in the last 15 minutes.
After four years of restoration, we’re seeing Mother Nature come to life. Please saunter through South Cedar Point and enjoy all the native wildflowers and grasses.
