South Lyndale Corridor Open House
Join your neighbors in shaping the future of the South Lyndale Corridor!
Richfield United Methodist Church
5835 Lyndale Avenue South
August 15th, 2005
7:00pm presentation
7:30-9:00pm open house
The City of Minneapolis, Lyndale Area South Renewal - Creek to Crosstown (LASR-CC) group and the selected consulting team continue to make progress with the exciting process of preparing a master plan and design guidelines for the South Lyndale Avenue Corridor, between Minnehaha Creek and the Crosstown Highway. The effort includes several events designed to actively include you and your fellow members of the community.
The first open house was held on May 24th, 2005. Details about the planning process were presented and preliminary information regarding the existing conditions of the corridor were discussed. Your comments regarding the future of Lyndale Avenue were collected and have been incorporated into the preliminary master planning for the corridor.
At the open house on August 15th, you will learn about the preliminary concepts developed for the corridor. These concepts have been influenced by planning for the reconstruction of Lyndale Avenue, Highway 121 and the Crosstown Commons. Together with current Minneapolis and Neighborhood plans, community input has already been an integral part of the conceptual design process. Your help is still needed as the process continues!
The final open house will be held on October 11th from 7:00-9:00pm at Richfield United Methodist Church. Plan to attend and discuss the resulting preferred master plan alternative which will be presented that evening for your review and comments.

Four neighborhoods share the Lyndale Avenue South corridor from the Minnehaha Creek to the Crosstown Highway - Kenny, Lynnhurst, Tangletown, and Windom. These four neighborhoods represent geographically defined neighborhoods within Minneapolis, and representatives from each of these neighborhoods form Lyndale Avenue South Renewal - Creek to Crosstown (LASR-CC), a community group developing a vision for Lyndale Avenue south of Minnehaha Creek. In addition, representatives from the business community along Lyndale Avenue also sit on LASR-CC.
The LASR-CC team has been meeting for over three years during which time they formed their coalition, reviewed the history of previous Lyndale Avenue planning efforts, and facilitated a community process that developed a vision for Lyndale Avenue.
This vision statement is as follows: "We envision a Lyndale Avenue South that...
1. Blends the area's natural beauty, existing resources, and future development to create attractive, well-maintained spaces with a distinct sense of place.
2. Encourages a neighborhood-friendly transportation environment that emphasizes pedestrian activities while accommodating vehicles.
3. Fosters neighborhood-focused businesses and a development climate that meets the needs of the residents."
Purpose of South Lyndale Corridor Plan
The corridor master plan will be undertaken primarily in 2005 and will focus on long-term changes rather than short-term improvements. The Lyndale Avenue corridor is defined as a community corridor in The Minneapolis Plan, the city's adopted comprehensive plan. It provides housing, commercial goods and services, development opportunities, and major transit connections. Land use and transportation changes have already occurred, and additional change is anticipated. Recent proposals for housing and mixed-use developments have sparked neighborhood opposition, due in part to the lack of a shared vision for how the corridor can evolve. The LASR-CC committee has worked to build that vision, but has not yet addressed the specifics of land use change. The South Lyndale Corridor Plan process is the final stage for realizing the community vision. |
