Community Meeting for 46th and Hiawatha LRT station

The City of Minneapolis Department of Community Planning and Economic Development (CPED), in partnership with a Citizen Advisory Committee of neighborhood residents, businesses and property owners, and other public agencies, is hosting a second public meeting to solicit input into the study of the 46th Street and Hiawatha LRT station area. The consultant team, led by Olsson Associates, will present alternative transportation and stormwater infrastructure, open space and land use design concepts, development scenarios, and phasing recommendations for near-term and long-term projects that support the implementation of the 46th Street and Hiawath LRT Station Area Master Plan, adopted in 2001. The public is invited to give input on community priorities, preferred projects, and design concepts.

The consultant team will continue to work with the Citizen Advisory Committee to refine the technical analysis and community input into final design concepts, priorities, and the implementation action plan. Community meetings, to be scheduled in early 2008, will present the study’s finding and recommendations. For more information, please contact Mark Garner at 612 673 5037.
The meeting will be September 18, 2007 from 6:30-8:30pm. The presentation will begin at 7 pm at the Hiawatha Community School Gymnasium, 4201 42nd Avenue South.

The meeting site is wheelchair accessible; if you need other disability related accommodations, such as a sign language interpreter or materials in alternative format, please contact Krista Bergert at 612 673 5015.
