Public comment period ends Wednesday, November 23, 4:30 pm
The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) provides information regarding
the potential environmental effects of the DeLaSalle High School Athletic
Facility Project (Project). The Project is an addition of a regulation size
football field at the School campus on Nicollet Island. The use of the
field will be shared by DeLaSalle and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation
Board (MPRB). The new field, when not used for football, will provide one
regulation size soccer field or three junior soccer fields. The use of this
new football and soccer facility will be shared by DeLaSalle and by the
MPRB. The athletic field will be built on two parcels of land presently
divided by Grove Street, one owned by DeLaSalle, and one owned by the MPRB.
The portion of the existing Grove Street right-of-way between Nicollet
Street and East Island Avenue dividing the parcels would be vacated for the
Project. The Project site is located within the St. Anthony Falls Historic
District. Copies of the EAW are available for review at the downtown
Minneapolis Public Library located at 250 Marquette Ave., the Southeast
Community Library located at 1222 SE 4th St., and in the office of the City
Planning Division at 210 City Hall. It is also available for review on the
City of Minneapolis web site:
