Kingfield Neighborhood Association

Open House for 210 W 46th St

In August 2017, the City of Lakes Community Land Trust (CLCLT) acquired 210 West 46th Street. The foreclosed property had been vacant for several months; however, the CLCLT saw the opportunity to create, in partnership with Kingfield Neighborhood Association, a long-term affordable home in the southwest area of Minneapolis, which is increasingly difficult to achieve. Through the CLCLT, the home will be sold to an owner-occupant earning 80% or less of Area Median Income and will remain affordable long-term through the community land trust resale process.

Please join us at the open house on Thursday, January 23 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. More information on sale of the property will be forthcoming.

Whittier/Lyndale Bikeway project on the Agenda for the KFNA Board Meeting

City staff will be presenting and receiving comments on the Whittier/Lyndale Bikeway project, which in 2021 will improve existing bikeways on 1st Avenue South and/or Blaisdell Avenue between Grant Street and 40th Street. Enhancements could include curb protected bikeways, two-way bikeways, and/or intersection improvements. If you are not able to attend the presentation, you may submit comments on the project via the City’s online survey.

Throwdown & Paint-a-Bowl

Drop by Fuller Park to watch some pottery spin and to paint a bowl for Kingfield Empty Bowls! Fuller Park artists have pre-thrown 100 bowls for the community to come decorate and be given away at our February community dinner. These same artists will also be providing demonstrations of throwing pottery on a wheel, and providing information about Fuller’s pottery classes and Open Studio time.

Kingfield Conversation about bike, pedestrian and street “issues”/projects

The Kingfield Neighborhood Association and a group of our neighborhood board members would like to invite neighbors to a community conversation around bike, pedestrian and street “issues”/projects in our neighborhood. We will share ideas and organize around improving conditions in and around our streets.

At the event we will:
– Provide quick updates on current projects/concerns with the neighborhood
– Have a conversation around experiences with and motivations for improving bike, pedestrian and general street conditions within our neighborhood
– Organize around specific concerns + current projects
– Discuss next steps- committee structure, purpose and communications

We will provide light food/beverages and have a space/activities for kids.

To RSVP or ask question contact KFNA President Chris DesRoches at .
