Welcome to the Historic Bushaway Road Neighborhood in Wayzata, MN. The Historic Bushaway Road became an official road 152 years ago, the first one registered after Minnesota became a state. Known for its beauty, it is now being threatened by concrete and landfill. Please join us if you care about protecting our environment.

Update:
OCTOBER 25th - Meeting at the home of Zita Hawley Wright,, 555 Bushaway Road, 7-9 pm. The meeting will be to summarize and evaluate the revised reconstruction plan for Bushaway Road presented to the Bushaway Task Force by Hennepin County in September, responding to the task force report of October, 2010 (Bushaway Task Force Report 10-19-10.

The attached PDF file is the County's response to the City's Bushaway Task Force Report. The Word file is Ron Anderson's analysis of the written response and the drawing they supplied. Power point and simulated versions of the County's latest design will be shown at the meeting. We will also have a 10-ft by 3-ft draft drawing of the plan. You may also view a copy of this draft anytime by contacting Mike Kelly at Wayzata City Hall ( "Mike Kelly" <Mike@wayzata.org>).

At the meeting on the 25th, we will also have a brief from the Bushaway Task Force on Wayzata's proposed Scenic Byway amendment to the Comprehensive plan. The proposal is now before the MET Council for approval. The meeting presentations will include important information for Bushaway landowners on process timelines, and Bushaway Task Force recommendations. The intent is to fully and fairly inform Bushaway neighborhood residents and to gather responses to the latest reconstruction design from the County. We hope to see you there.

Fund Raising:
Donations are welcomed at any time. Bushaway Road, enjoyed by many, welcomes you in our efforts to create a context-sensitive, environmentally and fiscally responsible historic byway. Funds are for environmental and engineering experts to enable us to work with the City of Wayzata to achieve a win-win solution for everyone. If the road is erased, this important 152 year history of the region and State would be lost forever.
