Turn Forest Lake into a city or community park . . . use the area from the streets that form a perimeter around the lake to the lake shore for a passive park with trails, gardens, quiet spots, etc. The lake itself could accommodate a pier or small island gardens accessible by foot bridges. Some will probably want a “memorial” to those who lost their lives on the 27th; if it is to be considered – this would be a lovely spot. This could help create a stronger and more desirable neighborhood in the Forest Lake area and could serve as a focal point for the entire rebuilding effort. I know this would involve acquisition of property from those who probably intend to rebuild; however, I think this is an idea the community could rally behind.
