Project Details
 
Name of Project: Lake of the Isles
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Scope of Work: Shoreline Restoration

Lake of the Isles is famous for it's skyline views, beautiful turn of the century mansions and recreational opportunities on the south end of Minneapolis. This chain of lakes receives over 5.5 million visitors in any given year. With just under three acres of shoreline, the Lake of the Isles has experienced harmful deterioration not originally anticipated when the lake was engineered in the early 20th century. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board committed $3.2 million for improvements to the water quality, eroding shorelines, and improving recreational facilities & pathways.

The first step in improving the Lake of the Isles was to address the shorelines. Meyer Contracting was asked to stabilize the 7500 linear foot of shoreline in the fall. The work consisted of site removals, remediation of existing shoreline, fiber coir roll installation and plantings. It was absolutely essential that minimal disruption occurred to eco-life and the natural habitats. Meyer Contracting ensured that extreme caution was given to the sensitivity of the project.
