Public hearing scheduled March 6 for long-term plan for all neighborhood parks in NE/SE Minneapolis

Posted on 28 February, 2019

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) will host a public hearing on the East of the River Park Master Plan on Wednesday, March 6, 2019, 6:30 pm in the Board Room at Mary Merrill MPRB Headquarters, 2117 West River Road.

Anyone who wishes to speak at the public hearing may sign up at MPRB Headquarters before the hearing begins or call ahead at 612-230-6400.

The East of the River Park Master Plan contains long-term park designs for all Minneapolis neighborhood park properties east of the Mississippi River. It also plans for new parks, like Towerside, and new park connections, like the Grand Rounds Missing Link.

The East of the River Park Master Plan was created through more than a year of meetings, events, conversations, feedback, design and adjustment. The latest set of designs was open for a 45-day public comment period between Nov. 13, 2018 and Dec. 28, 2018.
