KFNA Board Meeting
Wednesday, March 9th, 7:00 PM
MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet Avenue South, Minneapolis
When you attend the KFNA Board meetings, not only will you learn about the great activities that we are cooking up in Kingfield, but now you can also hear a brief recap of the crime trends and issues from the previous month. Be sure to mark your calendars for the second Wednesday of each month (except August), and arrive right at 7pm at MLK Park so you don't miss the Crime Prevention and Safety Reports!
Also featured at this meeting will be a 7:30 presentation by City and County officials regarding the 35W Access Project, including information about the recent funding dedicated to the 40th Street Pedestrian Bridge (a.k.a. RiverLake Greenway Bridge) which spans the highway and is receiving both a structural upgrade and dedicated art funding.
Neighbors are always invited to come hear what the board is working on or bring their questions or concerns before the board. Community Forum is also at the beginning of each meeting. This time is reserved for neighbors that want to come share news or ask questions. If you need more than 1-2 minutes, please contact Executive Director, Sarah Linnes-Robinson at sarah@kingfield.org and ask if there is time on the agenda for a more in depth discussion.
