Overview

The Bayport (L68) project site is located at 498 Maine Street South. 

As part of its mission to improve water quality and ensure a sustainable water supply for the region, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services is working to plant landscapes that need less water, reduce runoff, and provide habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies.  For more information, see the Program Page.  

Site Plan

The Met Council is committed to maintaining its sustainable landscapes and has hired skilled contractors to design and manage the site in your neighborhood. See below for a map of the plans.

The rest of the property is dry mesic prairie with a bee lawn buffer along the east edge and at the north end of the property. There are landscape shrubs in front of the lift station building along Maine Street South along with a project message center. Boundary markers are placed along the south, west and north sides of the site.
