Bike Repair Stations Added in Two City Parks <br />The City of Lake Elmo was awarded a grant in 2024 <br />from Living Healthy Washington County. This state- <br />based program works at the local level to support <br />healthier communities by expanding opportunities <br />for active living, healthy eating, well-being and <br />commercial tobacco-free living. This grant allowed <br />the city to install two additional bike repair stations in <br />the community after survey results from 2023 <br />showed biking is the second highest means to visit a <br />city park within Lake Elmo. These bike stations were <br />placed near the trail entrance at Demontreville <br />Wildlife Park and Reid Park. <br />Exterior storage, <br />parking and <br />maintenance <br />As part of our ongoing efforts <br />to maintain the appeal and <br />safety of the City of Lake Elmo, <br />city staff would like to remind <br />residents about regulations <br />pertaining to exterior storage, <br />parking, and upkeep of <br />properties.
