Happy Community Planning Month!
October is National Community Planning Month! To start off, let’s check out the current APA Great Places in Minnesota.
A pedestrian and bike friendly connection between historic Downtown Hopkins and the planned light rail transit station on Excelsior Boulevard.
The nation’s only urban-based National Scenic Byway!
Kenwood Neighborhood, featuring Kenwood Parkway and Kenwood Park. (Home of the Mary Tyler Moore House)
Another neighborhood in Minneapolis, Seward also features parts of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway.
My personal favorite: Rice Park in St. Paul. The park was initially used to graze livestock!
