Your input is needed!

The MPRB Master Plan process is currently underway and is developing a vision for the future park space by the lake. Answer these four questions (link in comments) by submitting photos, poems, stories and words you would like to see included. You can even create your own vision statement for the lake. We are advocating for a public art proposal that integrates with clean water, equitable access to park land and natural spaces, and protected and enhanced habitat for wildlife. Here are just a few images/ideas of designs that incorporate wetlands in park spaces and natural systems in the U.S. and elsewhere for inspiration:
Unity Park, Turenscape projects, and MIT Design Guidelines for Urban Stormwater Wetlands

What dwells in the water and amongst the boggy plants, safe from view? A glass bottomed walk, would show such treasures to at least a few! Picturing glass bottomed sections that can be moved with board walk access, depending on the season and life cycles. For example, sunnies and bass on their redds, Frog eggs and Polly wigs, dragonfly larvae.

Words that will shape the vision from the CAC meeting. There are more from public comments forms not listed here. We were prompted to think creative, even absurd ideas. IF you were unable to attend this evening’s meeting you can go to this form and add your own visionary words, post a photo, and/or write a poem or story: https://form.jotform.com/composidore/lake-hiawatha-visioning

Here's the Agenda for this Wednesday evening's CAC meeting on Hiawatha Park/ the golf course property (6-8pm at Pearl Recreation Center Gym) The evening includes a presentation by design team lead and CAC member visioning exercises, followed by opportunities for the public to comment on the vision statement.

Also, focus sessions will be formed for future meetings based on these topics: Golf, African American History at Minneapolis Golf Courses, Indigenous People's History at the site, Environment, and Neighbor's with low basement elevations. Come to this meeting if you would like to comment and get more involved in any of the focus sessions. There will be an opportunity to participate with vision boards at the end of the meeting if you prefer not to speak in a public setting.

"A vision statement describes what the group hopes that the Hiawatha Golf Course area becomes through the implementation of the master plan. This is typically a one-sentence statement describing the clear and inspirational long-term desired change resulting from the master planning process, intended to help the organization make decisions that align with its declared set of goals and to guide the development of the master plan. It is important to keep in mind that the vision statement is a high-level statement that captures the inspiration for the future, but at this point does not identify all the specific details of the master plan will address. These more specific items will be defined as we move through the process."
