Thursday: Seward Neighborhood Meeting on 3rd Precinct/Community Safety Center

Dear community,

Seward residents and community are invited to a meeting on July 11th at 6pm at Matthews Park to discuss the proposed 3rd Precinct/South Minneapolis Community Safety Center.

3rd Precinct/Community Safety Center

Seward Neighborhood Meeting

July 11th 6-7:30pm

Matthews Park Rec Center (2318 29th Ave S)

Mayor Frey has proposed building a new 3rd Precinct and “Community Safety Center” at 2633 Minnehaha Ave in Seward.

The City Council has been clear that this building needs to represent and embody the city’s new model of comprehensive public safety instead of just rebranding the police. I know that public safety is a top priority for many residents of Ward 2 and the 3rd Precinct. I also know that many Seward residents feel strongly that any new Safety Center in the neighborhood must not be a rebranded police precinct, but must house many programs and services outside of police. 

Join me for a meeting to overview what we know so far about the Mayor's proposal for 2633 Minnehaha, and have a structured discussion about your thoughts, concerns, and priorities.

Sincerely, 

Council Member Robin Wonsley
