For starters, convert the parking lot next to Sunset's into a park.

Imagine the impossible: a Wayzata without railroad tracks between the town and the lakeshore! What beautiful and people-friendly dreams might bloom there.

Anyone ever heard of tunnels? Put the train below grade from the yacht club to Ferndale...problem solved.

@ssswanson: having the railroad between the town and the shoreline has been J.J. Hill's best gift to Wayzata -- otherwise, private development would be blocking the view of the lake from Lake Street.

@essays93: You mean, just like all that private development blocking the view from Lake St. in Excelsior? Oh wait, that's a people-friendly park...

Sorry to see this happen. Is there anything they won't "develop" here? What happened to preserving the lakefront? Who needs a 10K ice rink?
