The MRCCA is home to extends 72-miles through the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, a full range of residential neighborhoods and parks, as well from the townships of Dayton and Ramsey in Hennepin and as river-related commerce, industry, and transportation . Anoka counties downstream to just south of Hastings in Though the river corridor has been extensively developed, Dakota County . Governor Wendell Anderson designated the many intact and remnant natural areas remain, including MRCCA in 1976 by Executive Order 130 . It was renewed by bluffs, islands, floodplains, wetlands, riparian zones, and Governor Al Quie in 1979 by Executive Order 79-19 . See native aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna. Figure 1-1 for the MRCCA boundaries within the City of Minneapolis . In 1988, Congress (Public Law 100-696) established the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area (MNRRA) as a unit of the National Park Service to: (1) protect, preserve, and enhance the significant values of the Mississippi River corridor through the Twin Cities, (2) encourage coordination of federal, state, and local programs, and (3) provide a management framework to assist the State of Minnesota and units of local government in the development and implementation of integrated resource management programs and to ensure orderly public and private development in the area . The MNRRA shares the same boundaries as the MRCCA . In 1995, a Final Comprehensive Management Plan for the MNRRA was approved by the Secretary of the Interior . This plan lays out a policy-level framework for management of the river corridor . It also determined that the National Park Service would not acquire significant land holdings or establish land use regulations for the MNRRA, but would instead rely on state and local administration of Executive Order 79-19 to protect the resources . The MRCCA is governed by special land planning requirements and land development regulations . These regulations, which are implemented through local MRCCA plans and ordinances, protect and preserve the natural, scenic, recreational, and transportation resources of this FIGURE 1-1: MRCCA BOUNDARY IN MINNEAPOLIS. section of the Mississippi River . In response to residents and interest groups raising concerns around the adequacy of the MRCCA regulations, the Legislature directed the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) minneapolis | 2040 A-4 Appendix A - Mississippi Corridor Critical Area Plan to establish rules for the MRCCA in 2009 and 2013 . • In 2009, the Xcel Riverside Plant was converted from Minnesota Rules, Chapter 6106, became effective on coal to natural gas reducing emissions in the area and January 4, 2017, and replace Executive Order 79-19, which removing the storage of coal at the site . previously governed land use in the MRCCA .

May 2016 This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context ABSTRACT Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development. Although there has been an African American presence in Saint Paul for more than 150 years, adequate research has not been completed to account for and protect sites with significance to the community. One of the objectives outlined in the City of Saint Paul’s 2009 Historic Preservation Plan is the development of historic contexts “for the most threatened resource types and areas,” including immigrant and ethnic communities (City of Saint Paul 2009:12). The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project (Context Study) was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.

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.

  • Technical Report #166: I-35W Bridge Collapse and Response
    U.S. Fire Administration/Technical Report Series I-35W Bridge Collapse and Response Minneapolis, Minnesota USFA-TR-166/August 2007 U.S. Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program he U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property, but the primary T criterion for deciding to write a report is whether it will result in significant “lessons learned.” In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire—the effect of building con- struction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc. In other cases, the lessons are not new, but are serious enough to highlight once again because of another fire tragedy. In some cases, special reports are developed to discuss events, drills, or new technologies or tactics that are of interest to the fire service. The reports are sent to fire magazines and are distributed at national and regional fire meetings. The reports are available on request from USFA. Announcements of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters. This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public fire education, building technology, and other related areas. The USFA, which has no regulatory authority, sends an experienced fire investigator into a commu- nity after a major incident only after having conferred with the local fire authorities to ensure that USFA’s assistance and presence would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.
