Lake Elmo Elementary public works field trip <br />On Monday, May 12, second-grade students from Lake Elmo <br />Elementary took a walking field trip to City Hall. They participated in a <br />public works mini-lesson that aligned with their science unit on <br />sediment control. <br />Public Works Director Marty Powers and Operator Jason Monroe <br />provided demonstrations on erosion control devices, including how a <br />silt fence and biologs help keep sediments, moved by stormwater <br />runoff, in place. They offered an example of how an erosion blanket <br />covering freshly seeded black dirt helps retain moisture for new <br />seedings and prevents them from being washed away.

Captain John Jaros served in the <br />United States Navy, and the family feels that a bench near the water <br />would be a meaningful tribute to his life and service. <br />County Highways 10, 17, and 17B Intersection <br />Improvement Project <br />Washington County, in partnership with the City of Lake Elmo, is <br />planning an improvement project for the intersection of County <br />Highway 10 (10th St N), County Highway 17 (Lake Elmo Ave N), <br />and County Road 17B (Lake Elmo Ave N). <br />Join us in person or online to meet the project team, provide input on <br />existing conditions, and learn about the project schedule and next <br />steps.
