Minneapolis Ffolks,
The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board (MPRB) is considering selling a
Mississippi River bluff, Bluff Street Park - also known as Gasworks Bluff, to
high-rise condominium developers.
This is the bluff on the west bank of the river, on the bend in the river
between downtown and the university, between the 35W bridge and the railroad
pedestrian bridge, approximately 8 acres.
How can you show your support for Bluff Street Park?
Attend a presentation to the MPRB by the WBCC Bluff Street park task force!
When: Wednesday, September 7, 2005, 6pm, during the Park Board meeting open
forum
Where: MPRB administrative offices, 2117 West River Rd, board room suite 255
(just north of Broadway Pizza)
Why: We need your support! There is strength in numbers! Please come to this
meeting to show the MPRB that the will of the community will be heard in this
matter.
The neighborhood association for Cedar/Riverside, the West Bank community
coalition, has a task force that has been working for over a year to create a
plan to preserve this precious open space. The U of M Metropolitan Design
Center has created a design for the park based on results of a stake holder
survey they conducted at the WBCC annual meeting in October, 2004. The
virtually unanimous neighborhood consensus is to preserve this bluff as a
natural, native habitat for wildlife, with paths for walking, biking, etc.
What is, after all, the mission of the Park Board?
