Find Out More About Linden Hills' Future On Sunday

Neighborhood working on a "small area plan" to guide future developments.

After months of preliminary work, the Linden Hills Neighborhood Council (LHiNC) is ready to take your questions about a proposed small area plan for the neighborhood's two business nodes.

According to LHiNC, if you head down to Linden Hills Park on Sunday, Sept. 23 from 1 p.m to 4 p.m., you'll find answers to queries like: 

  • What is a Small Area Plan and what is the process to develop the Plan?
  • What is the need for a Small Area Plan in Linden Hills?
  • What is the proposed scope of the Plan?
  • What are the roles of the City, LHiNC, the Small Area Plan Steering Committee and neighborhood residents?
  • What is the estimated cost of the Linden Hills Small Area Plan? What Linden Hills NRP funds would be used to finance the development of the Plan? What would be the effect of reallocating NRP funds?

City staff and neighborhood volunteers will be on hand to answer even more questions.

Writing the plan will cost the neighborhood about $66,000 if it goes ahead with it. The go/no go vote happens at the next LHiNC board meeting on Oct. 9 at Linden Hills Park at 7 p.m., following public testimony.

Before you go, though, check out this handy FAQ sheet about small area plans, put together by LHiNC.

I had the same problem. I did see a person with an "Obama for President" bumper stickerRead More and a pro- "gay" marriage sticker drive off with some plants. Another Democrat stealing property.

I am sorry to hear this happened to you. Theft from garages is kind of popular. They usually don'tRead More break in though. Glad you filed a police report and I hope you recover your property.

Sorry to say that you didn't have good information before moving to Minneapolis. Minneapolis isRead More plagued by crime, caused by the liberal mentality that prevents police from doing their jobs. Minneapolis and Hennepin County needs a strong sheriff, such as Sheriff Joe Arpaio from Arizona, to clean house and really crack down on the criminals that have destroyed vast swaths of Minneapolis.

Comments from Southwest Minneapolis Patch's Facebook page: Laura Bischoff: "This all feelsRead More pretty hate-filled to me. An unfortunate outcome." Andrea Nicole Markley: "Yes, I thought the principal had done a pretty bang-up job of re-vamping Washburn's image."
