West River Parkway Slope Repair
Efforts to repair damage done by the West River Parkway mudslide recently encountered numerous challenges. Multiple minor mudslides occurring since the beginning of August 2015 have delayed construction of the two walls most critical to stabilizing the slope. Erosion stemming from those mudslides also created steep embankments below the earthen “bench” used by the contractor to stage drill rigs and other construction equipment.
As a result, that critical construction equipment was removed from the bench and will not return until the contractor can determine the best method to control erosion on the slope.
Due to these unforeseen difficulties, the project is expected to continue through at least December 2015. The parkway and trail remain closed until that time.
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board appreciates the public’s patience during this complicated and challenging project.

Download the design presentation...
On Wednesday, September 23, the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board (MPRB) approved the concept design for Water Works as part of the Central Riverfront Regional Park. The Minneapolis Parks Foundation (Parks Foundation) funded the Water Works concept design phase in 2013-2014, which ran concurrent with the Central Mississippi Riverfront Regional Park Master Plan process adopted by MPRB in April 2015.
The Water Works concept builds on the vision for Mill Ruins Park that MPRB began more than 25 years ago. The four-acre site encompasses Minneapolis Park Board-owned land between Portland Avenue South and the Third Avenue Bridge, and between First Street and the Mississippi River. Today, there are nearly 2.5 million visits to the area annually, making the Central Riverfront Regional Park the fourth most visited park in the Twin Cities. Water Works also meets the principles of the RiverFirst Initiative, which includes projects such as Scherer Site/Hall’s Island, East Bank/Upper Riverfront trail loops, and the 26th Ave N Greenway + Overlook. More information about RiverFirst can be found at MinneapolisParks.org/RiverFirst and MplsParksFoundation.org/RiverFirst.
“When completed, the Water Works site will become one of the most visited locations in Minneapolis and will meet the needs of residents and visitors as they come to see the historic St. Anthony Falls and the birthplace of Minneapolis,” says Tom Evers, Executive Director of the Minneapolis Parks Foundation. “Throughout the Water Works design process the Parks Foundation collaborated closely with MPRB Planning Staff and community members, especially the Central Riverfront Regional Park Community Advisory Committee, whose input was invaluable. As a result, we believe the Water Works design reflects the community’s interests and addresses the underlying complexities of this much-loved and iconic destination and we are committed to bringing the additional resources required to realize the full potential of this vision.”
On July 1, 2015, MPRB approved a five-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Parks Foundation for partnership activities related to the RiverFirst Initiative. Via the RiverFirst MOU, the Parks Foundation and MPRB have agreed to raise funds for the RiverFirst Initiative and related projects including Water Works.
“Water Works will be an exciting, iconic destination that builds on the Central Riverfront’s rebirth as a place where a full range of Minneapolis’ diverse communities can engage with the river,” said MPRB President Liz Wielinski. “We’re fortunate to have partners like the Parks Foundation to help make these grand plans a reality.”
Additional community input to be addressed in the schematic design:
Most of the remaining concerns raised during the public comment period will be answered as part of the next phase of the design process. The next iteration of the site plan will address the community desire to maintain or increase a diverse and healthy tree canopy over time; with the addition of a “woonerf” (a shared pedestrian and automobile path) connecting the Water Works site to 2nd Street, there will be additional public parking and a pedestrian connection from downtown to the river; and ensuring that the site includes adequate space and programming to meet the increasing demand while remaining respectful to the residents who live nearby. The plan will also take into consideration the future development of the lock and dam as it is transitioned from a working facility into a cultural and historic point of interest.
Water Works Concept
The Water Works concept provides a unique visitor experience, highlights the site’s historic features and proximity to St. Anthony Falls, suggests a park pavilion with amenities, addresses navigation problems for pedestrians and bikers coming off the Stone Arch Bridge, and creates direct access to the river for paddlers.
Water Works is the site of the city’s original water supply and fire-fighting pumping stations were located on the site in the 19th century. The site is an important convergence of multiple riverfront destinations and physical features in addition to St. Anthony Falls, including the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, the Stone Arch Bridge, lock and dam, listed and eligible industrial ruins, the Mill City Museum and Guthrie Theater, as well as parkway, trails, and Mill Ruins and Gold Medal parks. Like the city itself, this site has grown to meet the changing needs of the people living in it from navigation, to industrial, to recreational and residential. When completed, the site will become an iconic destination for residents and visitors to Minneapolis.
About the Minneapolis Parks Foundation
The Minneapolis Parks Foundation, which partners with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board, is an independent 501c3 dedicated to community investment in the nation’s top park system. The Parks Foundation is working to ensure that the RiverFirst Initiative – a partnership with MPRB and others to reimagine the Mississippi River north of St. Anthony Falls is implemented, is leading the design and preliminary steps for the Water Works site, and hosts the Next Generation of Parks Lecture Series.

Pilot design experiments connect Midtown Greenway and nearby destinations
Colorful signage and other temporary design experiments have been attracting the attention of bicyclists and pedestrians at four key access points on the Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis:
• 26th Avenue South
• Bloomington Avenue South
• 10th/11th avenues (at the adjacent greenspace)
• Nicollet Avenue South
Developed by the urban design team at the City of Minneapolis in collaboration with staff from Hennepin County, the Midtown Greenway Coalition and the Lake Street Council, the pop-up improvements include:
• Creative wayfinding signage on fences and bridges over the greenway
• Painted icons and other designs on the pavement
• Bike racks
• Seating and games
Food icons and fence signage at the Nicollet Avenue access point.
The installations, which went up in August and September, are designed to point greenway users to destinations along Lake Street and in nearby neighborhoods. The main goal is to build on the success of the greenway, which has more than 1.5 million users annually, in order to enhance and strengthen nearby residential and business communities. Other goals include making greenway spaces more welcoming and friendly, and helping people in neighborhoods navigate to the greenway.
“Riding or walking on the greenway, especially where it’s below street level, can be disorienting,” says Lisa Middag, a Hennepin County planner. “But so many destinations are literally just a minute away, which makes it convenient to hop off the greenway to grab a bite, run errands, or do other activities. We are working on effective strategies to support and encourage that.”
Data and feedback about the installations will be collected through October through various means, including an online survey. This information will be put to use in developing recommendations for permanent improvements and a wayfinding strategy all along the greenway.
About Hennepin County’s Midtown Community Works program
Over the past 20 years, the county has partnered with the City of Minneapolis, the Midtown Greenway Coalition, the Lake Street Council, and other organizations to develop and support the Midtown Greenway, and to plan for and leverage economic growth in the area. Midtown is the longest-running program of Hennepin County’s Community Works initiative, a collaborative approach to redevelopment in key county corridors that launched in 1994.
This picture was featured in a recent MinnyApple article about the LoLa Art Crawl(in the Longfellow neighborhood). It's by John FairHolton of Just Photos For Humans. He organizes his work by Over-the-Ground, On-the-Ground (indoors and outdoors), and Underground. He has captured some fantastic images - many in our downtown and riverfront neighborhoods.
John named this picture PillsBuddies (they're sitting in framework of the iconic Pillsbury's Best Flour sign). But the first thing that popped into my mind was "You kids get down from there!"
Residents invited to help plan the future of Minneapolis Parks
On Monday, Sept. 21, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) will hold the next series of city-wide meetings to share information and gather feedback on what may be the most comprehensive planning effort in its 130 year history. Minneapolis residents are encouraged to get involved and help the MPRB with three distinct, yet deeply intertwined projects: Closing the Gap: Investing in our Neighborhood Parks, RecQuest, and Service Area Master Plans.
RecQuest and Service Area Master Plans focus on what Minneapolis residents want in parks over the next 25 to 30 years. Closing the Gap is about funding these needs.
The final “wrap-up” meetings will continue throughout September:
Minneapolis residents can learn more about Closing the Gap by watching a short video and share their opinions by taking a 15-minute survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/ourparks. The survey is open through September 30.
Residents are also invited to attend a public forum to learn how other cities facing similar challenges funded their neighborhood parks:
Closing the Gap: Insider Insights for Park Funding, Tuesday, Sep. 29, 6-8:30 pm, Walker Art Center, 1750 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis
Seating is limited; please RSVP by noon Monday, September 28. Email name and number attending to closingthegap@minneapolisparks.org or call 612-313-7789.
Anyone requiring a modification in order to participate should contact ewolfe@minneapolisparks.org or 612-230-6415 in advance.
Details about each project are available at www.minneapolisparks.org/closingthegap.

September 19 was an especially fun day at the Market. Highlights included the Heritage Bread Festival, hosted by Marty and Darrold Glanville of Sunrise Flour Mill, featuring presentations from professional bakers and samples and discussions with local bakers. OHK Grange provided kids with the opportunity to create seed art, and we met a Peruvian weaver at the ArtAndes booth.
Look for a separate post on the Heritage Bread Festival, including a video of the presentation, later this week on our Farmers Market blog.
Below is Engracia, a skilled Quechua weaver from Peru. Next weekend at the Market, she will be joined by her fellow weaver, Pascuala.
Melanie shows how multiple panels (like the one Engracia is working on) can be combined to create a large blanket.

As reported earlier this year, Gold Medal Park will will be hosting 3 sculptures from the Walker Art Center during its remake of the sculpture garden. On Wednesday the 3rd and final was installed.
Ordovician Pore by Tony Cragg
Trained as a scientist, Tony Cragg creates art that investigates the natural world. Yet if his sculptures comment on such topics as molecular structure, the human vascular system, or the Newtonian light spectrum, it is his use of man-made forms (either found or constructed) that transforms them into complex meditations on contemporary life. Here Cragg has constructed steel elements on a granite base—two smooth-surfaced concave cylindrical forms and two elemental biomorphic shapes—that comment on the Ordovician geological era of 500 million years ago, when oxygen was introduced into the atmosphere. While the oxygen gave rise to terrestrial life, it simultaneously killed off the species of algae that had produced it. The close resemblance of the cylinders to the cooling towers of nuclear power plants perhaps suggests an analogous life-death conundrum for our own technological age.
The following parkways will be temporarily closed September 20 for the Minneapolis Bike Tour, 7:30am-2:00pm
Grand Rounds, including - West River Parkway –Nokomis Parkway – Minnehaha Parkway – Lake Harriet Parkway – Lake Calhoun Parkway –Cedar Lake Parkway – Theodore Wirth Parkway – Webber-Victory Memorial Parkway – St Anthony Parkway – William Berry Parkway.
Each road section will open as the last biker rides through.
*Please note that the duration of the closures is subject to change based on the event's start and finish times.
*A complete list of current and upcoming parkway closures is available online.
As reported earlier this year, Gold Medal Park will will be hosting 3 sculptures from the Walker Art Center during its remake of the sculpture garden. Yesterday the second was installed.
Molecule by Mark di Suveros
The monumental scale and sweeping gestures of this red-painted sculpture are characteristic of the enormous outdoor structures Mark di Suvero has been making since the 1970s, using cranes to manipulate the massive industrial materials with which he works. Here, a pair of enormous steel beams meet at their ends, creating a triangular form that tips at an alarmingly improbable angle. At the point of the beams’ juncture are sections of two flat, centerless discs. A longer beam forms the final leg of the tripod, but travels on some 38 feet into the air, piercing a third disc interwoven with the other two at the point of intersection. The cumulative effect recalls all the visual and emotive force we attach to the atomic world: dynamic, red-hot, powerful, and strangely elegant. Molecule, like all of di Suvero’s large-scale sculptures, invites the viewer to inspect its lines and spaces from every angle.
