Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood Association Invites Residents to Participate in NIEBNA.VISION

The Nicollet Island-East Bank Neighborhood Association (NIEBNA) has been working closely with landscape architecture firm Urban Ecosystems to design, develop, and execute a vision for the future of the neighborhood.

NIEBNA.VISION is a collaborative design effort to propose an urban design plan for the future of the Nicollet Island / East Bank Neighborhood. The process involves studying the community, engaging with residents, and developing rendered designs for the streetscapes, plazas, and parkways. This process will allow residents to share their ideas, and generate excitement and interest in the future transformation of the neighborhood. NIEBNA has retained Urban Ecosystems to facilitate this process and develop potential designs for the public realm.

“This is a unique opportunity to set the neighborhood apart, encourage engagement with residents and businesses owners, and further realize our community's Small Area Plan, all through a single project.”

- Brett Kistner, NIEBNA Board Member/Project Lead

.

NIEBNA is conducting an ongoing series of community engagement sessions during the Summer and Fall of 2023 to share these visions with the community. They will be attending National Night Out, hosting walking tours of the neighborhood, celebrating the neighborhood's bars and restaurants, and exploring the history of St. Anthony Falls and Nicollet Island. This fall, they will present the final vision plan to the neighborhood and government stakeholders and begin planning for implementation.
