Save Our Neighborhoods! Stop the Minneapolis 2040 Plan!

Many of the changes the Mpls 2040 Plan promotes will likely go into effect next year (2019) -- e.g. fourplexes, etc. What's wrong with the 2040 plan?

* Fourplexes Everywhere

The Mpls 2040 Plan allows fourplexes on virtually every block and every neighborhood in the entire city. This radical change will destroy the character and feel of our beautiful single-family/residential neighborhoods.

* Much More Density Everywhere

The Mpls 2040 Plan promotes A LOT MORE density and development in our residential neighborhoods and around our city lakes. This radical change will greatly hurt the look and feel of our neighborhoods, and our lakes. To make matters worse, it doesn't address related transportation and infrastructure needs. Density for density's sake, without a well thought out transportation and infrastructure plan, is very shortsighted and irresponsible.

* Taller Buildings Everywhere

The Mpls 2040 Plan calls for 'upzoning' the entire city. This will allow developers to build up to 6 and 8 story buildings and high-rise apartments in many of interior neighborhoods and around our city lakes. This radical change will be end up being very harmful.

What Can You Do?

1. Call and email Mayor Jacob Frey, Lisa Bender (City Council President), Jeremy Schroeder (Zoning and Planning Chair), your own city council person, and as many other city council members as you can. Tell them you strongly oppose the Mpls 2040 Plan. The mayor and a majority of the city council support the plan, and unless a majority change their mind and vote "No" -- it will pass! Contact information is on the back of this flyer.

2. Submit a comment on the Mpls 2040 website -- minneapolis2040.com. Deadline is July 22.

3. Sign up for updates at www.minneapolisforeveryone.org

Our organization -- minneapolisforeveryone.org -- is in favor of many progressive ideas, but we recognize that not all progressive ideas are good. The Mpls 2040 Plan is not. The Mpls 2040 Plan doesn't reflect the views of many, many people who call Mpls home.

Please take action on this. It is the most significant Minneapolis issue of our generation! →
