Middle town is St. Cloud's commercial district with the steepest riverbanks which creates the need of retaining wall structures.
Majority of upper town has the lowest incline of slope and the greatest setback of buildings which will make this area effective for revitalization, slope stabilization, and stormwater filtration.
Lower town is home to one of St. Cloud's neighborhood historic districts. It is important to create a public path that doesn't interfere with the local residents.

The city of St. Cloud has declared this historical ravine to be undeveloped because of a native silver-haired bat that is currently under MN DNR species of special concern list.

Natural bat habitats are diminishing such as caves and old growth forest. As a result, bridges are becoming bat havens of last resort.
