Draft park concepts posted: watch online video, find presentation slides, boards, and an online survey.
MPRB is seeking input on draft park program and concepts, public art master plan, and more. Find materials in one place on the website, take an online survey, share your thoughts, and pass the word around. We are not asking for people to pick a concept, but are seeking input on the draft designs and what people like, do not like, feel is missing, etc. Although a few graphics are embedded in the survey, we highly advise that you watch the video first. The survey focuses on a few key questions and the does not contain full information.

MPRB virtual meetings in June and July
Thursday, June 11: No meeting on this date as previously planned.
Thursday, June 18: Dakota Insights around the Upper harbor Terminal and Upper River 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Learn how the park at the Upper Harbor Terminal and other park areas in Minneapolis can restrengthen the kinship between people and land.
At the June 18 meeting (rescheduled from May 28) Dakota community members will share their insights on the evolving park at the Upper Harbor Terminal. The community members are helping the team weave language, history, and culture into the park and providing important perspective on the relationships between people, the land, and water. Given the social distancing requirements, the Dakota community members will share a brief film and some of their experiences and ideas. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and talk during the meeting.
All meetings are currently virtual via online meeting platform Zoom in order to comply with social distancing requirements. Please read the instructions and follow the link posted below to participate. Watch for future updates in the case that meetings are rescheduled. The public is invited to participate in all CAC meetings.
