The Future of Biking in North and in Hennepin County – Nov 11th

What should Biking look like in your neighborhood? Your larger community? Your city? Your county? Take some time so share your ideas in a meaningful way to help with the revising of a plan for development related to bike and trail plans. Nov 11, 2013, 6:30-7:30pm at the CNA Office. This committee meeting is open to Cleveland residents as well as other northsiders. Here’s the note from the flyer:hcbike discussion

Hennepin County and Three Rivers Park District are revising the county-wide bike and regional trail plan. The plan identifies bike and trail routes, and sets priorities, goals, and
guidelines for bike routes and regional trails. Not a biker? This plan influences how county roads are constructed and funded, so the  results affect all county residents, not just those who bike.

Join the conversation at an upcoming community listening session near you to share your ideas about how to improve bicycling in your neighborhood and throughout the region.

Share your thoughts on transit at StreetForum.org

street forumThis summer and fall as part of an effort to engagement more community members around issues of transit development, from Light Rail to Rapid Bus service, we launched a project called Street Forum. We spent time engaging bus riders while they waited at the bus stop and ask them what they thought about future development proposals, what they do and don’t like about the current system and what messages we could take to their public officials and to decisionmakers regarding transit.

See some of the recently posted videos and more to come at StreetForum.org. Leave a comment, respond with your own video. This is an opportunity to get a conversation started and spark community engagement and input outside of the typical evening community meeting. We hope you’ll join in the conversation.

Fall Block Parties – Can You Host one?

Cart

If you didn’t make it out to Open Streets on Saturday you missed out on a lot of fun things happening. One of those exciting things you might have missed is the launch of our Community Engagement Cart, a mobile block party mobile. And we’re looking for hosts for some fall block parties, how about you?

We’re looking to do a variety of smaller scale block parties throughout the neighborhood. Want to host a board game night with your neighbors? Bonfire with S’mores? A backyard movie night for families? Let us know if you’re interested in hosting an event on your block and we’ll work out the details on making that happen. Our goal with our mobile engagement is to build strong connections between residents and strong connections to the Cleveland Neighborhood Association.

If you’re interested, shoot us an email or give us a call at 612-588-1155. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

(The Community Engagement Cart was made possible through a grant from the Pohlad Family Foundation)
