        COUNCIL DISTRICT:                    1         the Upper Shoal Creek watershed.  It is a natural area and sits between
                                                       single-family homes in the Bridge Pointe neighborhood.  The property

        ESTABLISHED:             1978                  Maplewoods  Greenway  land  and  future  trail  development  could
