The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is planning for a potential new bridge and gathering spaces for people walking, running, biking or rolling over the Mississippi River between North and Northeast Minneapolis.

The MPRB wants to hear from the communities the bridge will connect! An open house is planned Tuesday, July 23, 6-7:30 pm at a MPRB-owned vacant lot at 1720 Marshall St. NE. This will be the first chance to view updated concepts for the new bridge and park spaces on each side of the river and give feedback to project staff.
