Apparently time has now become a hot commodity. On Tuesday, June 13, the Park Board announced that its latest version of the Cedar-Isles Park Plan would be released to the public on Friday, June 16, with the plan going to a vote before the Park Board’s Planning Committee on Wednesday, June 21.
For our many neighbors who have been following this process closely, that means there is one business day on June 20 — as Juneteenth, which falls on June 19, is a federal holiday — to review the plan and submit comments before the vote.
The hearing itself will be held at the Park Board headquarters, 2117 West River Road, at 6:30 p.m. Those interested in speaking at the meeting must sign up immediately before the meeting or call 612-230- 6400 before noon on June 21.
If the plan passes the planning committee, it will go before the full board on July 5, at which point commissioners can offer up any amendments they choose.
After patiently waiting months for the Park Board staff to do its work, we have less than a week to do any work at all on our end and to provide feedback to our representatives.
These could be highly consequential meetings, so interested neighbors are strongly encouraged to review the new plan, offer comments in person as described above or emailed to OpenTime@minneapolisparks.org.
