Waite Park and St. Joseph Bike Rentals Back Out Again for Summer
Waite Park and St. Joseph’s grant-funded Bike Share program that launched last August is back and ready for summer 2021.
The bike-share program originally started in 2019 as a pilot program that was funded by Stearns County Public Health from the Statewide Health Improvement Program. It then officially launched with the bikes being available to the public in August of 2020.

The bikes are located at both River’s Edge Park in Waite Park and at the Lake Wobegon trailhead in St. Joseph. There is an electronic locking system that you unlock by renting the bike through the Movatic mobile app. The bikes are really inexpensive to rent at just $1 per hour, and there is no time limit. All bikes also are adjustable and have a basket for storing personal items while you bike. What's great about the app system is that you can check to see if a bike is available before you head to the location to rent one.

This week in 1946, 75 years ago: A building permit was granted by the Alexandria City Council for installation of storage tanks and pumping station by the Great Lakes Pipeline Company in the northwest edge of Alexandria. Estimated cost is at least $100,000.
1986 – 35 years ago: The gates are padlocked and the sun will set on the Sunset Drive-In. Tentelino Enterprises has now closed all of its outdoor theatres, calling this the “passing of an age.”
1971, 50 years ago: Alexandria police have been zeroing in on crosswalks lately, especially to those motorists who don’t yield the right-of-way for pedestrians. Officer Dave Benson stood at the corner of 4th and Broadway, another officer stood at 5th and Broadway, issuing mostly warnings, but said, “People may not see us next time, and we won’t be warning anymore.” A motorist must yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian in the right-of-way.
