UPDATE
A $20 million proposal to reconstruct Bryant Avenue in south Minneapolis passed the city's transportation committee unanimously..
The plan spans 2.5 miles of Bryant between Lake and 50th streets. It would reconfigure Bryant into a one-way thoroughfare for vehicular traffic, transplant its bus routes onto Lyndale Avenue, cut on-street parking by 48%, add 3.3 acres of green space and construct a two-way bike trail.
The plan is scheduled to go before the City Council on Aug. 20. Afterward, there will be a public hearing in the transportation committee on assessments.

Join us at our next EHFNA Board Meeting to stay up-to-date on what's happening in your neighborhood.
All EHFNA Board Meetings are currently held as Zoom video conferences. If you are interested in attending the meeting, please contact info@eastharriet.org in advance for the meeting link. EHFNA Board Meetings are typically held the 1st Wednesday of the month.
Learn more about the EHFNA Committees
Committee volunteers are needed for just two to three hours a month. If you've looked into EHFNA committees before, check it out again to see what's different. Here are the three new committees and an outline of their areas of focus:
Neighborhood Engagement - This committee will focus on events and outreach. The events include (in a normal year) Fall Fest, the Kite Festival, Happy Hours and a tent at Lyndale Open Streets. In 2021, there may be more online classes and events being organized - what are your ideas? The outreach portion of this committee plans to focus on an EHFNA logo update and rebrand. A crucial goal for this committee is to make sure all residents and business owners are informed about what's happening in the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Engagement
7pm, the 3rd Tuesday of each month
Next Meeting: August 17th, 7pm
2) Community Partnerships - This committee plans to engage with the neighborhood by forming and maintaining important partnerships. One of these partnerships will be created through a new and exciting block captain program. Join this committee to lay the groundwork for how that program will work. Other valuable partnerships will include East Harriet schools, businesses, the South West Business Association as well as other partnership opportunities as they emerge.
Community Partnerships
7pm, the 3rd Wednesday of each month
Next Meeting: Wednesday, August 18th, 7pm
3) Green Spaces and Places - This committee will be the Green Team of East Harriet, handling environmental concerns and neighborhood clean-up events. They will also work with MPRB for improvements and events in our neighborhood parks. Last but not least, they will manage the places of our neighborhood by working on zoning issues as they arise.
Green Spaces and Places-NEW DATE
7pm, the 2nd TUESDAY of each month
Next Meeting: Tuesday, August 10th
