April-September 2011 Community Engagement

April-September 2011

  • Transition from Design Competition to the Riverfront Development
    • The momentum, excitement and exposure of the opportunities created by the Upper Riverfront design competition are driving the next steps of the process which is implementation.  During the April 6, 2011 Park Board meeting, Commissioners took action on transitioning the Minneapolis Riverfront Design Competition to the next stage – the Minneapolis Riverfront Development Initiative. The next six months will be the Design Development Strategy phase where we will be working closely with a series of committees and the public to create this strategy.
  • The RiverFirst design team refined the vision through extensive community engagement, gathering input from the public and three stakeholder committees: Steering, Technical and Advisory.
