August 30, 3011, Tuesday - Upper River Forum River Walk

Time: 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Location: Minneapolis Park & Rec Board Headquarters, 2117 West River Road

Upper River Forum: Broadway to Boom and Back – River Walk

Meet at the Park Board and walk along West River Road to Plymouth, Boom Island, Sibley Street and back across the Broadway Bridge.  Hear about the area's past and future, and learn about the bridges.

Walking the Plymouth and Broadway bridge loop, we will see how people have transformed this riverfront in ten years, and imagine how the Upper River will change.

We will:
- walk the continuous riverfront trails;
- talk bridge rehabilitation and “knot bridges;”
- see the Scherer site and Boom Island transformations;
- highlight the economic and cultural development at Coloplast, Graco, RSP-Grain Belt, Pierre Bottineau Library, and Riverview Homes;
- spot great public art; and
- look for shorelines hot for habitat and clean water.
Stop at Broadway Pizza for a brew and ‘za afterward.
