Community Engagement
Community Input Survey
As of the morning of November 3, the community input survey has 101 responses. Bee was able to
publish the survey materials in the Forest Lake Area Schools' Digital Backpack, as well as send out
the survey link to parents that previously enrolled their child in City of Scandia-run skating lessons.
The survey will remain open through this weekend and will close on Monday, November 7.
Open House
The Open House on October 19t" was a success! Many residents passed through the Community
Center that evening, many of which offering helpful feedback and marking up the preliminary
recommendations/trail ideation maps. A digitized, mapped compilation of the written feedback will be
posted on the project website soon.
Stakeholder Interviews
Over the last few weeks, the MSA team has met with ten stakeholders from around Scandia: Susan
Rodsjo (SHA), Sarah Porubcansky (BHA and TourismBoard), Robert Zuzek (Cycling Scandia,
Gateway Trail Committee), Wayne Boerner (William O'Brien State Park), Susan Dickens (EDA and
TourismBoard), Mark Lofstrom (Bone Lake Association), Ashley Maloney (Scandia Elementary),
Lynette Welsch (Marine Lions Club), Peter Hilger (Architect for BHA's Water Tower Barn project),
and Karen Scik (Friends of Scandia Parks and Trails). We believe that these stakeholders have
provided a very beneficial range of insight into many facets of Scandia's parks and recreation, and
have incorporated their feedback into specific park and trail recommendations.
Information ovl e o IVISA by the City of Scandia
Since SA's last meeting with the Parks and Recreation Committee, MSA has received stakeholder
contact information, BHA Water Tower Barn concept plans and site maps, and a map for the
