Welcome to the real world. Here in Seward, we had to use NRP funds for the upgrades to Matthews Park. I think that is the standard way the park system is now operating. If I remember right, from the 1950s through something like the 70s or 80s, neighborhood park improvements were only made through urban renewal money or if the neighborhood somehow raised funds themselves. My point is that every neighborhood has complaints with the Park Board. NE does not seem to be singled out. And, if you are, talk to your NE park commissioner, Walt Dziedzic. ................................. Sheldon Mains Seward Neighborhood, Minneapolis, Minnesota (I'm back!) REMINDERS: 1.
