[DMNA] Public Meetings scheduled to discuss draft recommendations for transportation improvements in Downtown Minneapolis

[Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association (DMNA) Email List]

Good Morning DMNA Supporters:

The City of Minneapolis is hosting two public meetings to
discuss draft recommendations for transportation
improvements in downtown Minneapolis. We are asking the
public to provide feedback on plan recommendations and to
discuss the key transportation issues they see facing
downtown.  


Wednesday, April 11, 2007

11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Central Library

300 Nicollet Mall – Doty Room 

 

Thursday, April 12, 2007

5 p.m. – 7 p.m.

St. Olaf Catholic Church

215 S. 8th St. – Gathering Room 


The Downtown Action Plan is the first part of a four-part
citywide transportation planning effort.  The other plan
elements include:  (1) Citywide Ten-Year Transportation
Action Plan, (2) Street and Sidewalk Design Guidelines, and
(3) Streetcar Feasibility Study.  The remaining three plan
elements will be discussed at future public meetings –
most likely held in May or June.  The Downtown Action Plan
recommends a system approach to meeting transportation needs
in downtown and includes recommended actions for
pedestrians, bicycles, transit and automobiles.  

The public meetings will include presentations on plan
recommendations, followed by a discussion of key plan
elements and individual questions. Pre-registration is not
required. Folks are encouraged to arrive at the scheduled
meeting start time to see the presentations before the
discussion, but people are welcome to drop in at any time to
view plan maps and talk with project staff.
