The Mill Pond really is a town treasure, and it seems like the city is willing to pay to keep it that way.

I don’t know why, really, but I’m pretty excited to see the actual work of dredging the pond. There’s going to be a lot of earth moving around.

I’ve walked that section of road before, and I never really thought anything of the fact that there was no sidewalk. I understand that it would make the walk to Lagoon Park safer for children and families in the area, but I guess that was never really an issue when I was a kid – we walked on the street all the time because there often weren’t sidewalks for us to use.

I am a Hillside Avenue/Stuart Drive neighborhood resident and frequent visitor to Lagoon Park. I often walk "the loop" north through the Lagoon Park, up Sunset Drive, through the school campus area, and down Hillside Drive. Many people (joggers, parents with strollers, dog-walkers) take this route through Jordan's neighborhoods. I'd like to see sidewalk or tar walkway along the stretch of Hillside Drive from Stuart Drive to Park Drive. It seems odd that we provide safe walkways in the form of sidewalks up until this point, but on the last block pedestrians walk to the park, we force them to walk on the street. Though there is less traffic along this stretch than there used to be, there is still enough to warrant a safe route. There are many children in the Stuart Drive and Chad Circle neighborhoods who would enjoy a safer walk to the park if there was a walkway.

Nice little video of the waterfall in the winter! and you are right, it does make you want to live in a small toen by a creek with a waterfall. (I live about as far away from that scenerio as you can... inthe suburbs by a pool!)
