The Park Board has very little to do with the Midtown Greenway and the endeavors of the Greenway Development. This is a Hennepin County Railroad Authoiry project plus lots of other players except the Park Board.
Annie Young citywide Park Commissioner Brandt: See third item below from Commissioner Young's bio page on the Park Board web site. New Developments or Initiatives (Year in Review): *Committed to safe parks, strong neighborhoods and citizen participation. *Keep on task measures to protect water quality in our lakes and the environmental restoration of wetlands and prairie still. *Pursuit of the possibility of a Park Crossing/ land bridge structure at 28th and Hiawatha, the connection of the lakes and the river by the Midtown Greenway and river and park development along the Upper North Mississippi. Comment from Brandt: Moreover, the Greenway was originally promoted by a group in which then-Park Commissioner George Puzak was prominent. The Park Board was one of five government partners in Hennepin Community Works, organized in 1994, for which the Midtown Greenway was a signature project. And I believe that Commissioner Young is one of the community members whose faces are sculpted onto the 4th Avenue bridge pier adjacent to the Phase 1 of the Greenway.
