Next steps include large group meetings and smaller workshops over the next three months to develop a roadmap for addressing homelessness and the risk of homelessness. |

New Bridge, New Trail -- New Name |
|
Red Wing Riverview Skyway is the name of the new bike-pedestrian bridge between the West End District and Bay Point Park. The name came from options through the Arts & Culture Commission, and Monday night, Council approved the final title. The name recognizes the bridge’s location and role in connecting the community. The main bridge structure will be installed by crane on August 31, and the final project will be complete later this fall. |

What Exactly is 'the Old Fairgrounds'? |
|
Long-time residents of Red Wing often refer to "the Old Fairgrounds," but you won't find that label on any map. Where is it and how did it get its name? In our new video, City intern Marshall Laidlaw walks us through this area of town and gives us the unique history behind its name. |

Regular Red Wing Public Library patrons are likely to recognize Amy Smith as a familiar, friendly face. After all, she not only handles everything administrative for the library, she also serves as a Notary Public and works at the service desk. All of that keeps her interacting with the public on a regular basis. Amy says one of the best parts of her job is being able to see people appreciate and enjoy the library. Her coworkers are pretty great, too, she says. Outside of the library, the avid reader loves to spend time with her family and take trips to a cabin up north with her husband, Kevin, their granddaughter, Chloe, and their black Lab, Molly. |
