Redevelopment Project - Linden CornersThe application for the Linden Corner development at 43rd and Upton will be heard before the City of Minneapolis Planning Commission on Monday, February 6 at 4:30 pm in City Hall. Please see the agenda for further details. LHiNC's Community Open House on Proposed Linden Corner Development Receives Big TurnoutThe turnout for the "Linden Corner" Open House held at the Park Building on December 11 was remarkable. It is estimated that over 600 individuals attended. At the Open House, LHiNC Board members had an opportunity to meet and talk with many neighbors. In turn, the neighborhood had an opportunity to learn more about the proposed development, review information concerning the City approval process, and visit with the developer and members of a neighborhood opposition group. Participants were encouraged to complete a questionnaire before leaving the event. 537 questionnaires were submitted by Linden Hills residents, and the results revealed that 27 percent favored the project, while 73 per cent were opposed. The questionnaires and feedback gathered will be summarized and submitted to the City of Minneapolis Planning Commission to aid them in their decision making process. The Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on January 9. The LHiNC Zoning Committee will review the project at its December 19 meeting, as will the LHiNC Board at its January 3 Board meeting. Thank you to all who were able to attend and also to the LHiNC board members responsible for putting the event together.

Street Resurfacing Project in Linden HillsThe City of Minneapolis Public Works Department is proposing a street resurfacing project to start in the spring of 2012 that will involve a large portion of Linden Hills, mostly north of 44th Street West. Please see this map for locations impacted by the project. Resurfacing removes part of the pavement surface and places a new layer of asphalt over the entire street surface. Because the entire street is not torn apart, the work typically only takes 2 days in front of anyone's home, one day for pavement removal and a second day for asphalt placement. This is a much less intrusive process than a total street reconstruction. Assessments to properties will help to pay the resurfacing. LHiNC will share information as it is received.
Upcoming Sewer Projects in SW MplsThe Metropolitan Council plans to undertake a rehabilitation project of existing sewers in Southwest Minneapolis in the next few years.
