A new stage of Northeast Minneapolis riverfront park development begins this summer! The project includes:
A new and improved park, called Graco Park on a parcel of riverfront land north of Plymouth Avenue Bridge that currently hosts a section of Mississippi East Bank Trail and a gravel beach facing Hall’s Island.
Design and construction of a building supporting Graco Park along Sibley Street NE. We're looking for interesting parties to submit a Letter of Interest for becoming a tenant or programming the building, see the news release for details.
Improved trail connections to Boom Island Park and a pedestrian bridge connecting to Hall’s Island.
There are several ways to get involved. There's a website with background information and survey questions, an in-person, drop-in event at the future Graco Park this Saturday, June 12, 1-3 pm where people can speak with staff about the project, and a virtual conversation Wednesday, June 23, 4:30-6 pm. Check out the news release for details.
You are encouraged to give feedback that will be used to develop park and building concepts. The first of three planned phases of engagement in 2021 has just launched. There are multiple ways to get involved:
Online Survey and Resources: Visit the project engagement page to find a survey, maps, and images with information about the project and prompts to provide input. All submitted ideas and comments will be documented and considered as designs for the project are developed. This survey is open through July 7, 2021.
In-Person Event: Share your thoughts in person at Graco Park on Saturday, June 12, 1-3 p.m. Look for the MPRB tent and table.
Virtual Conversation: Join MPRB staff and community members for an online conversation about the project on Wednesday, June 23, 4:30-6 p.m. Use the Zoom link below to join:
Meeting ID: 928 8232 1476
Passcode: 303288
Down the Road: The first phase of engagement wraps up in July. Project staff will use feedback collected to create multiple park and building design concepts and share them in August for another round of feedback with another survey and additional in-person events. Then, in the fall, a single, preferred concept will be shared for a third round of engagement.
Visit the Graco Park and Lot 2 project page and enter your email address into the box under "Subscribe to Email Updates" to stay informed about this project.
MPRB is also soliciting letters of interest (LOI) from interested parties, organizations, businesses, or proprietors that are interested in being a tenant, hosting programs, or both in a new proposed MPRB building in Graco Park. As part of the new Graco Park design process, there is also an opportunity for a future separate commercial space to be developed on the site adjacent to the Park Board building with the intention of the building to support operations of a park-supportive vendor. This call for letters of interest is for both opportunities. Interested parties should review the submission guidelines and submit a letter of interest by July 23, 2021.
The new park owned and operated building will be approximately 4,000 square feet composed of a combination of shared or independent office space, community meeting rooms, public restrooms, and an open programmable gallery-like hall. The design and configuration of the future commercial building may change as a result of the design process.
Release of solicitation for proposals: June 7, 2021
Questions or requests for clarifications due July 7, 2021
Responses to questions or requests for clarifications posted July 10, 2021
Proposals due 5 p.m. CST, July 23

21 Day Notice: SNO intends to conduct a community vote to move the remainder of our CPP Reserve funds into priorities including:
$82,000 from Reserve to Engagement
$11,613.49 from Reserve to Raingardens
Join our Annual Meeting to Vote
Monday, April 26th at 7pm on Zoom
On March 22nd, the SNO Board voted to put out a 21 Day Notice of intent to move the remainder of our CPP Reserve funds into priorities including:
$82,000 from Reserve to Engagement Efforts
$11,613.49 from Reserve to Raingardens and Community Gardens
This totals $93,613.49 which is the entirety of our Reserve fund. View all of our CPP Funding here.
The SNO Board also voted to change the Microgrants priority language to expand eligibility requirements so that community members can apply for a microgrant (up to $500) for any project that benefits the neighborhood and community.
SNO intends to conduct a community vote on these changes. Please join our Annual Meeting to vote on Monday, April 26th at 7pm on Zoom.
Reasoning:
Funding for Neighborhood Organizations across the City of Minneapolis is changing this year from the Community Participation Program (CPP) to Neighborhoods 2020. This means that on July 1st, 2021, all of our uncontracted funds (including the Reserve fund) will be funneled into Neighborhoods 2020 funding. In order to maximize neighborhood use of the funds, the board has decided to move all of the CPP reserve funds into priorities.
Our Engagement Efforts priority includes all of our events, outreach, meetings, staffing, and general neighborhood engagement. The funds allocated to the Raingardens & Community Gardens priority would go directly to establishing and maintaining Raingardens in the neighborhood. Any unspent funds will still be available on an application basis in the Neighborhoods 2020 funding.
As always, feel free to contact us at sno@sheridanneighborhood.org with questions or comments.

Afterwords, join the NE Storm Drain Challenge Celebration at the Audubon Neighborhood Association office at 2600 Johnson St NE at 1pm. RSVP and details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/694452494759874
With the weather warming up it’s perfect timing to clean up all the leaves that have been accumulating before the next round of snow hits!
Storm drains feed directly into our local lakes and rivers, unfiltered, so it’s important to keep them clear for cleaner and healthier waterways. Fall is an especially important time to keep the leaves that are collecting on our streets and sidewalks out of our storm drains. While they might be “natural” debris they become pollution when large quantities hit the water and break down becoming food for algae.
Make sure you’re ready for the week with this checklist of things to do.
1. Adopt an available storm drain near you at http://adopt-a-drain.org if you haven’t already (or feel free to adopt more if you already have an adopted drain)
2. Gather the tools you'll need. These might include: gloves, rake, trash grabber, dustpan, safety vest, bins for separating waste, yard and/or trash bag
3. Collect and separate trash and recycling from the area around your adopted drain
4. Rake or sweep up leaves, sediment and sticks and place in compost or yard waste bag
5. Estimate and report the debris you collect from 10/26/2020-11/1/2020 and you’ll be entered to win a tote bag
6. (Optional, but greatly appreciated!) Take a before and after photo of your efforts and share it on your Facebook or Instagram and tag us!
Litter Be Gone is a series of events to clean up litter across Minneapolis each fall; this year it is from October 1-10. You can participate on your own by picking up litter around your home or workplace anytime this week, or you can join us in a neighborhood-wide cleanup day on October 10th!
To join the cleanup, meet us at Sheridan School from 10-12pm on Saturday, October 10th. We will have gloves, bags, vests, and litter grabbers available and will be giving away drink coupons to all participants. See you then!
If you pick up individually, you can report your results using the online form (and earn a free Chinook Book subscription), and share photos on social media with @LitterBeGoneMN #cleanMpls.
