NNO Party Registration Deadline Approaching AND a Special Offer from KFNA!

By

You can register an NNO event and apply to close a street/alley in a single online process. If you register by July 24 it is free. 

Even if you don’t want to block your street off, register your event so City Teams can visit your event and so the KFNA Board can buy enough ice cream and mobilize our volunteers to visit every Kingfield Block Party!

Added bonus this year for Block Party Hosts!  Get a FREE compostable picnic-ware Party Pack (plates, forks, napkins, and ice tea cups) for 20 neighbors for your party! (Note: the person emailing for the Party Pack MUST match the City listing of the person that registered the block party for their block!)

Just email info@kingfield.org with “Compost Party Pack” in the subject line and include your name, address, email address, block that the party will cover, and best phone number in the body of the email and we will send you a coupon to pick up your free compostable party kit!

I Know We Said Rain-or-Shine…

By

… but we didn’t anticipate severe thunderstorms on the night of this year’s garden tour.  I know the hosts have been working diligently to have their gardens looking perfect for this evening, so it was a difficult decision but we cancelled the garden tour tonight.  We will regroup with the gardeners and see if we can find a new date. Please keep an eye out for the weekly e-news, as well as posts on our website, Facebook, and Nextdoor Kingfield.  If you have questions, please send an e-mail to Cheryl@Kingfield.org

Thanks for everyone’s understanding!

Heat Index Forces MLK Park to Close at 5pm Tonight, 7/12/2018

By

Unfortunately, the annual MLK Park Ice Cream Social is being cancelled.  The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board’s policy requires that facilities close if the heat index rises to a level that does not allow people to be able to cool down in non-air conditioned facilities.  We hope the event is rescheduled, but do not have any information at this time.  In the meantime, please stay hydrated!!

Seeing Lots of Traffic in Our Neighborhood?

By

Here are a few things you can do to report increased traffic and/or speeding cars that we are starting to see as a result of the construction on 35W:
1. Call 311 to provide location and time – this information goes to various city resources that are trying to address the issues caused by the highway construction.
2. Go online and submit the same information to Andrea Jenkins, our Ward 8 City Council representative (www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/ward8/contact-ward8).
3. Report the information to MNDot, they have a hotline set-up specifically for this project: 612.284.6125 – you will speak to a lovely young woman named Kristen, who is very understanding and meets weekly with the City to discuss traffic options.

Representatives from MNDot will be at the Kingfield Farmers Market on Sunday, July 22nd if you would like to learn more information about this project.

There is also a website for the project that contains useful information, and you can sign-up to receive updates: www.dot.state.mn.us/35w94/index.html
