It will and Osseo Road from continue to guide the engagement process through the remaining four phases of the Interstate 394 to 49th Avenue. project. In 2012, Hennepin County designated Penn Avenue as a Community Works project. The Hennepin Community Works program is based upon the premise that carefully designed and integrated public works projects sustain and enhance the long-term tax base and viability of neighborhoods and businesses, while enhancing the quality of life. Hennepin Community Works projects are guided by the following principles: • Stimulate economic development • Promote effective planning and implementation • Maintain and improve natural systems • Strengthen community connections • Enhance the tax base County, City, and Metropolitan Council officials have identified that a long-term vision and coordinated approach to planning for future private and public investments is needed for the Penn Avenue corridor in North Minneapolis. The purpose of the Penn Avenue Community Works Corridor Vision and Implementation Framework is to: • Establish and pursue a shared vision for the corridor that reflects the diverse voices along the corridor and recognizes different character areas of Penn Avenue neighborhoods that each contribute to the corridor’s identity • Create a strategic framework for public investments that not only leverages private investment, but delivers community and economic benefits • Align jurisdictional authorities, policies, and technical and financial resources to maximize benefits • Garner broad-based community input, collaborate with corridor communities, and build a coalition of support to collectively advocate for corridor-wide funding needs • Work in tandem with Metro Transit during bus rapid transit (BRT) project development to ensure that the community-based corridor vision becomes the basis for future transit 1-1 PENN AVENUE VISION AND IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS 1.

The initial stages of the planning process recognize the importance of reinforcing existing community-based plans, projects, and initiatives in the project area and the desire to advance a corridor-wide approach that builds on the success of prior work.

  • 2012 ADC Executive Summary
    22001122 CCEDAR­­RRIVERSIDE CCOMMUNITY SSPACE SSTUDY FFINAL RREPORT Cedar‐Riverside Community Space Study – September 2012 ADC Executive Summary The Cedar Riverside neighborhood is home to over 7,000 residents and numerous organizations that need space for meeting, gathering, performing, educational, social service, and other types of activities. Often times, the demand for space is greater than the supply in this densely populated neighborhood. In order to determine the community spaces available and types of community spaces most needed in the neighborhood, the African Development Center (ADC) conducted a community space study, with financial support from the Cedar Riverside Neighborhood Revitalization Program. After extensive outreach and information gathering, the ADC found that the Cedar Riverside neighborhood is sometimes lacking in both knowledge of and access to currently available community spaces. In order to increase the level of awareness of available space in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood, ADC has created a Space Inventory document, which can be found here as an appendix, as well as on ADC’s website. The space inventory provides information regarding specific locations and rental terms of available space in Cedar Riverside. ADC expects that this inventory will help community members to better utilize space currently available in the neighborhood. Despite the fact that several neighborhood organizations are willing to open their doors for community use, there is still a major need for more spaces. Neighborhood representatives reported that the greatest desires are: community spaces for youth recreation and related services, fitness/exercise activities, adult/elder activities, large events/gatherings and social services. Despite many creative and cooperative approaches occurring to meet space needs among organizations large and small, there are still significant unmet needs.

    NPS Form 10-900-a (Rev. 8/2002) OMB No. 1024-0018 (Expires 5-31-2012) United States Department of the Interior Prospect Park ResidentialPut Here Historic District National Park Service Name of Property Hennepin County, MN County and State National Register of Historic Places N/A Continuation Sheet Name of multiple listing (if applicable) Section number 8 Page 1 NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The civil engineers who laid out the Prospect Park plats, Samuel Harlan Baker and Joseph H. Gilmore, were influenced by the work of their contemporary, Horace William Shaler (H. W. S.) Cleveland, and the picturesque landscape designs that are a hallmark of the era. Upon the framework of these plats, the residents shaped Prospect Park’s character and appearance. The neighborhood is significant as the home of the first community association in the city of Minneapolis, the Prospect Park Improvement Association (PPIA). The PPIA quickly established itself as a major influence, effecting changes ranging from the removal of weeds to the construction of the neighborhood’s iconic water tower. The community’s culture was enriched by its proximity to the University of Minnesota, which drew many academics to Prospect Park. The Prospect Park Historic District is one of three suburban-type developments that were established in Minneapolis in the late nineteenth century. While the architectural design in the other two, Kenwood and Washburn Park, is relatively homogeneous, following the pattern of many of the city’s neighborhoods, the houses in Prospect Park display a spectrum of the residential styles that appeared in Minneapolis during the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century.
