Look what Mn/DOT’s been saving in their ‘Beehive Graveyard.’
Before $100 million worth of Highway 100 road improvements in 2001, Mn/DOT crews dismantled 3 parks and retained the materials. Mn/DOT’s Mary Wenner showed us the materials that were salvaged from the parks that once lined Lilac Way.
Rick Birno and the St. Louis Park Historical Wayside Park/Beehive Restoration Project committee hope to use a small portion of these materials when they restore Roadside Park, which includes moving the beehive from Lilac Park at Minnetonka Blvd., to Roadside Park at Highways 7 and 100.
Historical materials from Graeser Park in Robbinsdale must be saved for Graeser, in the hope it will someday be restored.
