Calling all Northsiders! Join us for a walk and talk about the future of Dowling between the Mighty Mississippi and Lyndale Avenue N.

Reconnecting North Minneapolis to the Mighty Mississippi

February 7, 2017

Do you like to use the parks and trails along the Mississippi River? Are you excited about the new parkland coming to the riverfront in North Minneapolis? We are, too! We also want it to be safe and easy for residents and other community members to walk or bike between the existing North Minneapolis neighborhoods and this new parkland (and vice versa).
