Before the state and city can move forward to replace the obsolete bridge and dam on Barclay Avenue in Pine River, the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office is requiring mitigation and documentation efforts to preserve the history of the concrete steps there where children used to swim, the Pine River City Council learned at its meeting Tuesday, Feb. 9.
After a survey of the project, the State Historic Preservation Office determined it would negatively impact the history of the steps. The steps will remain where they are, they will not be damaged or removed; however, the water level will likely drop, which will alter the appearance of the feature.
