Better routing of pedestrians and bicycles near the Como Lakeside Pavilion is among initial ideas on the table when Parks and Recreation rebuilds parking lots near the Pavilion and golf course next year.

With record participation, District 10 residents elected five new members to the Como Community Council board, and re-elected four members in voting that ended June 16.
