A Message From Ward 3 Council Member Rainville re: 4th of July Weekend Safety

Many of you in the 3rd Ward have contacted the office asking about security plans along the Riverfront on the 4th of July.

The Park Police are at full staff that night and will be patrolling Boom Island Park and both sides of the Stone Arch Bridge.

The Mpls Police have a large amount of extra officers dedicated to patrolling the Mill District and if needed will use their squad cars to block streets if cars are racing and shooting fireworks and guns from their cars like last year.

The Park Board has not scheduled a fireworks show for the night of July 4th. Rest assured there is a public safety plan if violence erupts as it did last year.

Please call my office with questions. Thank you,

Councilman Rainville
