Opinion: ‘Save Our Minneapolis Parks’ Supports Joint Park Board, City Compromise
by Craig Wilson
On Wednesday March 16, ‘Save Our Minneapolis Parks’ announced their support for a resolution brought forth by Minneapolis City Council Member Lisa Goodman and Council President Barb Johnson at the City Council Committee of the Whole meeting, with the support of Mill City area Council Member Jacob Frey. If passed, the resolution would set the stage for a concurrent ordinance between the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (Park Board) and the Minneapolis City Council. This ordinance would provide 20 years of new funding for the neighborhood parks system.
