A Greenway Runs Through it: The Midtown Greenway and the Social Landscape of Minneapolis, Minnesota Aaron Brown April 19, 2010 Honors Thesis Advisor: Dr. Laura Smith Department of Geography Macalester College Abstract Minneapolis‟ Midtown Greenway is a 5.5 mile bicycle and pedestrian corridor that replaced a grade-separated railroad line in 2000 and expanded to its current length in 2007. In an era of reinvestment in American inner cities and a heightened political awareness of both urban transportation alternatives and public spaces, the academic field of geography has much to contribute to the discussion about the viability, effectiveness, and success of projects such as this adaptive reuse of reclaimed, deindustrialized space.

    Information Item Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission Meeting date: December 3, 2020 and January 7, 2021 Subject: Parks and Trails Legacy Fund FY2022/2023 Biennium Projects Overview and Equity Highlights District(s), Member(s): All Policy/Legal Reference: Minn. Stats. §§ 473.325 and 473.315; Regional Parks Policy Plan, Chapter 8, Finance Strategy 3 Staff Prepared/Presented: Jessica Lee, Senior Parks Planner, 651-602-1621 Division/Department: Community Development Proposed Action None; information and discussion only. Background The purpose of this information item is to present the Regional Park Implementing Agencies FY2022/2023 proposed project lists for the Parks and Trails Legacy Fund Program (PTLF) and to highlight PTLF projects designed to advance equity. The Parks and Trails Legacy Fund was established to supports parks and trails of statewide or regional significance after Minnesota voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the State Constiution in 2008. A portion of the PTLF is appropriated to the Council to distribute to the ten Regional Park Implementing Agencies each biennium. In preparation for this appropriation, the Council asks the Agencies to prepare a list of proposed projects to be shared with legislative policy makers during the upcoming legislative session. Equity Toolkit. The Council works with the ten Agencies to understand and document how projects advance equitable use of the Regional Parks System. Each Agency identified which of their PTLF projects help advance equitable usage. At the December MPOSC meeting, each agency will feature one of these projects. The purpose of this exercise is to help foster a system-wide discussion on how we are collectively advancing equitable use in the Regional Parks System, including exploring effective ways to build equity components into PTLF projects.
