A good article today in Metro/State about the Met
Council's attempt to overcome barriers to affordable
housing production in the suburbs etc. This is tied
to the new smart growth program.
Some questions I have here. How does this policy
impact Minneapolis in terms of funding it receives
from
This might get a little long winded, but bear with me.
I would like to infuse a little clarification to the
discussion on NRP. There seems to be some confusion
between the funds that are allocated to a neighborhood
and those funds which are contracted directly with
with neighborhood groups
NRP did not specifically address the historic area
issue. However, the new Phillips Park project
certainly keeps the mansion theme in perspective in
it's construction.
Even though Honeywell has been merged, bought out, or
whatever it's end destiny doesn't mean that the work

Carsten called me today. Said he was working on a
version of the DFL letter too. I agree my opening
statement was weak. I guess that must epitomize my
confidence when it comes to the DFL.
Anyway, he will forward his version to me tomorrow.
Will forward that to you and Fred when I get it.
The previous post obviously wasn't meant for the list.
It shouldn't have happened. I definately will be

The Suburban fright syndrome is not new. In the 70's
and 80's I worked in Eden Prairie and lived in Loring
Park and then by Lake Nokomis. My friends at work
used to be scared to visit me, even by Lake Nokomis

Whoever wins this election (and I do care who wins), I
have to say this is the most exciting election I have
seen in a very long time at least during my mid-life
crisis.
My precinct 6-1 generally has mediocre turn out.
Today it was packed. I saw a couple neighbors there

Like R.T. I too was out flyering for Neva this
weekend. But..I didn't see any literature for anyone
else anywhere. As many Nader signs as are in my
neighborhood, I would have thought at least someone
would be out delivering something. H..guess
my neighborhood doesn't have any target
Hence comes the Charter School.
I am currently working with Advantage Schools of
Boston to bring a new Charter School into the Phillips
and Whittier neighborhood.
My purpose for working on this project is to find ways
to provide as much school choice for parents in these

I have spent many years preparing for this job in both
my volunteer activities in Whittier and my
professional life as NRP staff to 13 South Minneapolis

The subject of re-opening Nicollet has been on the
table for as long as I have lived in Whittier (1991).
It was addressed in the Whittier NRP plan, but, with
no funding dedicated in the plan or by the city at
that time, it became only a dream.
The discussion has both dropped off and livened
Thanks David for bringing a little light humor into
the mix of the ball park discussion. I didn't have
time to read the paper this morning before I left and
got to work to find a long line of calls from people
in Phillips.
In fact, East Phillips is meeting tonight to discuss
their planning
