Before I get yelled at abaout this not being loal... Carin DeWar, Bill Anderson (of the Environmental Dept of our City) and many other in Minneapolis were very influential in directing the writing and selling of the Smart Growth Initiatives that were placed in this award winning plan. Too bad the revisionists who came in this year haven't followed through with these plans for the 2030 FRamework which many Minneapolis agencies are currently responding too. The new one is a disaster compared to the Award Winning Plan.
Oh well - let's hear it for changes in administrations! Yuck! And Congratulations to the old guard. Annie Young East Phillips
