The hope tonight is to get concept approval for the plan— so we have proven
neighborhood support when we take our ideas to Hennepin County and Minneapolis
Public Works at the next CDC Meeting.

know you are invited to, a Ward 2 community conversation on the Transportation
Action Plan that I’m hosting next Wednesday, March 6, at Matthews Park, 2318
29th Ave S. I’m certain that pedestrian, bicycle, and other nonmotorized
transportation will be important topics in this discussion, and as the
Council’s trusted advisors on those issues, your voices would be most welcome.
