A message from Council President Elliott Payne

Hello neighbors,

I wanted to send out another reminder about community 1-1s coming up on Thursday. We still have a lot of slots open so please sign up below! I also wanted to share that Open Streets will be coming back to Central Ave this summer thanks to the work of the our Ward 1 neighborhood associations. It's going to be a great summer in Ward 1!

Best,

Elliott

Open Streets Coming Back to Central Ave!

I’m excited that Audubon Neighborhood Association was chosen as one of the 4 hosts for City of Minneapolis open streets this year! That means Open Streets will be coming back to Central Ave on August 2nd for the first time since before the pandemic. Thanks to Audubon Park and the coalition of Ward 1 neighborhood associations who worked hard to submit this proposal. I will happily be voting yes when it comes before the City Council for final approval next cycle.
