We meet at 21st Avenue SE and Talmage Avenue SE

Tools, gloves and snacks will be provided.  

All are Welcome! We leave stalks standing through the winter to provide shelter and sustenance to wildlife. Most of our native bees and butterflies winter underground or in stems. Birds eat the seeds. We wait to trim most stalks till the temperature is 50 degrees. Most planting is done at the end of May or early June. Though we plant mostly perennials, some plants will need replacing. Rain Dates will be announced on the garden e-mail.

EVENT DETAILS

• Date: July 28, 2026

• Time: 5:30 PM

• Location: Pillsbury A Mill Performance Hall (315 Main Street SE)

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Jeffrey Siegel and Gerri Summerville, representing 701 LLC, will present "Rowhouse Minneapolis." The proposal outlines a proposal to construct 9 side-by-side, 3-story homes on the corner of 2nd Ave. SE and 7th St. SE, designed by East Bank neighborhood creatives at SALA Architects.

The meeting presentation will address the fact that the subject site is currently too small for its existing zoning requirements. Because there is no adjacent opportunity to acquire additional property, 701 LLC is proposing an alternative use for this underutilized land. Once fully presented and with stakeholders surveyed, this project will move forward if supported by stakeholders and city planning, and if granted a subsequent comprehensive plan amendment.

MnDOT has identified safety concerns at the Hwy 280 and Broadway St. NE intersection. To improve safety for motorists, MnDOT is proposing a full closure of the left turn at the Hwy 280/Broadway St. NE intersection. Right-turns to and from southbound Hwy 280 will remain open.

Before the closure, MnDOT and local partners will make improvements to the Hennepin/Industrial Ave. area. These improvements are intended to reduce the risk of serious crashes and enhance safety and mobility throughout the area.

We have been closely coordinating improvements with the cities, counties and other key agencies in the area to determine how best to serve the communities in this neighborhood while improving safety for people driving on Hwy 280.

Please join MnDOT for a public meeting on Thursday, August 6 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Van Cleve Park Recreation Center Gym at 901 15th Ave SE to learn more about the project. There will be a brief presentation at 5pm, but people are welcome to come and go as they are able.
