Community Mural Visioning Workshop
Tues. Aug. 30th
 6-8pm, MLK Park
All Kingfield neighbors and stakeholders of Dr. Martin Luther King Park are invited to a Community Workshop regarding the creation of the entryway mural at 40th and Nicollet! No RSVP necessary—just gather your neighbors and walk over and share your ideas about what makes Kingfield great!   The workshop will be led by Artist Team of Silvia Ibanez Brown and Greta McLain. The workshop will consist of some ideation exercises and possibly some group sketching as well. The ideas generated at the workshop, partnered with the ideas collect from many neighbors on National Night Out, will guide the artists in the creation of the design of the mural.
The Gateway mural will be painted this fall. If you are interested in participating in these future workshops please email KFNA Director Sarah Linnes-robinson at so we can be sure to notify you of future dates.

Community Meeting @ Traffic Calming at 40th St/2nd Avenue
Please join City of Minneapolis Public Works staff and Councilmember Elizabeth Glidden to discuss options for improving pedestrian/bicyclist safety and traffic calming at 2nd Avenue and 40th Street (the entrance to the pedestrian bridge across I-35W). Read more about the project here.
Tuesday, March 1st
6:30 – 8 pm
Dr Martin Luther King Park Recreation Center
4055 Nicollet Avenue South
Public Works Engineer Jack Yuzna will present options for improving the physical infrastructure near the entrance to the pedestrian bridge across I-35W. Options include a raised crosswalk (like a speed bump) or versions of a bumpout that extends the sidewalk on the west side of 2nd Avenue.
Please note that 2nd Avenue will be resurfaced during the 2011 construction season, from just north of 32nd Street to 34th Street and 37th Street to 42nd Street. Residents will receive separate notice of a community meeting in May regarding the resurfacing project and public hearing for assessments.  More information on resurfacing of 2nd Avenue is available at http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/cip/2ndAveS-resurface/index.asp.

Meeting Minutes
April 4, 2007
MLK Park
7:00pm
Attendance: Steve Brandt, Steve Jevning,
KFNA Staff: Joanna S. Hallstrom, NRP Project Organizer
Introductions: None
Announcements: Bryant Issues meeting is tomorrow, April 5. Brandt is planning on attending.
Transit for Livable Communities applications for funding are due April 10 for municipalities. Jevning said TCL is more interested in social service project funding opportunities. There is no deadline for this. KBP’s interested would be to develop a project to draw awareness to the bridge.
One finding idea: Use Block Club organizing to do a survey on bike and walking in the area. (i.e. how fare do you walk / bike to . . . ). and provide low cost bike baskets. KBP could subsidize this for a year. KBP would also like a map of how far people live from their work. Hallstrom will try to get these stats from Darrel Gerber, who is working on the Minneapolis 10-year Transportation Plan. The Bike Committee will submit project ideas that demonstrate walking and biking TLC for review. (to Steve Clark?).
As committee members meet with possible KBP supporters they need a brochure. Hinds and Motzenbecker created a brochure for the 2005 Kingfield Summer Festival. It can be updated and reprinted.
Brandt and Jevning would like to present at a Nicollet-East Harriet Business Association Meeting. Hallstrom will arrange this when the time is appropriate.
