Brown Bag Lunch: Reconnecting North Minneapolis to the Mighty Mississippi

With the Mississippi Riverfront in North Minneapolis slated to become parkland in the coming years, it's important to ensure that it be a true, accessible, community amenity for North Minneapolis residents. To do this, connections between the community and the riverfront parkland must be improved. Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) invites you to a brown bag lunch for a presentation and discussion about the barriers and opportunities to reconnect North Minneapolis neighborhoods and the Mississippi River. The lunch will include a presentation by FMR’s's UMN CURA Research Assistant Eric King on his connections research throughout the spring 2016 semester. A discussion about the existing barriers and opportunities as well as projects that are in the works to improve connections will follow. Beverages and dessert provided.
