Latest News: Central Riverfront Task Force and Community Advisory Committee
|
|
|
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board invites public comment on the Draft Central Mississippi Riverfront Regional Park (proposed renaming to St. Anthony Falls Regional Park) Master Plan through January 18, 2015.
|
|
Major components of the draft include:
• Creating better places to walk and bike
• Better connections within the neighborhood grid
• Making crossings safter
• Connecting Main Street to East River Road/UMN
• Restoring the East Falls
• Increase accessibility to the tailraces
• Including a visitors’ center and restroom
• Reorganize the east end at Stone Arch Bridge
• Instilling the notion that we do not want a motorway between Main Street and East River Road, it should only accommodate bike and pedestrians
• Expanding the park boundaries to the East River Gorge
Once approved, the master plan will guide park investment along both sides of the Mississippi River near St. Anthony Falls for years to come. The draft plan is the result of a 16 month process that included 12 meetings of a Community Advisory Committee, 10 meetings of a Technical Advisory Committee, three community open houses, an online survey, and one-on-one conversations with residents. Based on comments received from the public, the draft plan will be revised and presented to the Board of Commissioners for a public hearing and approval in early 2015.
