This area is one of the prettiest parts of the trail between Victoria and Excelsior.

I love that bike path and frequently enjoy being surrounded by the trees in that area!

I have grown up on these trails and in these woods. It is considered a home for not only the animals that live in the forest, but also me and the other kids that have grown up here. I’m nearly 20...the nature that surrounds my home has shaped my childhood and my perspective. Please don’t take this away from future generations.

Please save the trees and work hard to find a better solution for storm water management.

Please do not take away a portion of the already small amount of forest left in this area!

Please do not destroy the woods. Just this morning multiple deer ran across the trail and I saw the albino squirrel yesterday....

The trail is one of the highlights of this area.
Removing the forest would be too high of a cost.

Trees are valuable...and we need a solution to runoff issues. I just spent over $10,000 to repair a wet basement and install drain tile in a 40 year old home that never needed it before. Runoff is an issue, and it is getting worse...yes, a holding pond might help, but if it requires removing mature trees, its not the best option. The problem is a result of too much development without proper handling of runoff. More stringent runoff rules would help. I understand some neighborhoods rejected curb and gutter, which was illogical, without an alternative like rain gardens, porous pavement, or requirements for each residence to have zero net runoff, etc, etc...we have alternatives and Shorewood residents would embrace these hybrid/green solutions, especially if they understood the topic...we are losing confidence in the city's approach to this subject...we need leadership on our water.

Please do not raze the forest in Tonka Bay for a drainage storm site. There is beautiful habitat living here and the site will become an eyesore to the area.

Please do more research before your decision is made to cut down this forest.
It will cause further problems, not solve them.

These woods are a priceless gift to our neighborhood and the larger community. The city of Shorewood has the opportunity to stand-up and do the right thing by preserving these woods. Let's set an example of doing what is right knowing that if these woods are taken, it is an action that can never be undone. It will affect not only this generation but all future generations.

I'm in favor of identifying a hybrid (less invasive, more environmentally friendly) approach that preserves the natural setting and takes steps to use the area to improve storm water management for local residents.
