Mayor Frey vetoes Park Board s resolution to end agreement with State Patrol

Mayor Frey vetoes Park Board s resolution to end agreement with State Patrol The Park Board on Wednesday voted to end its space-sharing agreement with the Minnesota State Patrol. Author: Google Streetview On a 5-4 vote Wednesday, the MPRB passed the resolution that prohibits the State Patrol from using the MPRB headquarters to take breaks, process reports or recharge their equipment.

Minneapolis Parks Board ends space-sharing agreement with State Patrol The move was taken in a close 5-4 vote.

The Parks Board HQ at 2117 West River Road North is used by state troopers primarily for breaks, to eat their lunch, and to use the restroom.

Minneapolis Parks and Rec buys land to create park in North Loop

Minneapolis Parks and Rec buys land to create park in North Loop The Parks and Recreation Board is paying just over $2M for the land. Author: Minneapolis Parks and Recreation The center of major revitalization – and gentrification – over the past decade, Minneapolis North Loop is now set to get its first park. The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board earlier this week approved a purchase agreement to buy a 25,000-square-feet of surface parking lot along 3rd Street north – between 7th and 8th Avenues – that it will transform into parkland. This, it says, will help it fill the gap for some of the 2% of Minneapolis residents who don t live within a 10 minute walk of a park.
