Welcome to the East Harriet Neighborhood
East Harriet is bordered by 36th Street on the north and 46th Street to the south. Lyndale Avenue is the eastern boundary; Lake Harriet and Lakewood Cemetery largely make up the western border of the neighborhood. In addition to these Minneapolis landmarks, Lyndale Park Gardens and Rose Gardens, the Thomas Sadler Roberts Bird Sanctuary are located within East Harriet. Many houses in the neighborhood are two-story homes, set back from the streets.

Community Meeting May 2

Steve Burch with Collage Architecture, on behalf of 36 Bryant LLC, has submitted the following land use applications for the properties located at 3612-3616 Bryant Ave S: 
  • Conditional use permit to increase the height of the building.
  • Variance to increase the maximum permitted Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the building.
  • Variance to reduce the south interior side yard setback.
  • Site plan review for a new 41-unit residential building.​

Parkway lighting Replacement Continues This Spring Around Lake Harriet

​City crews will be completing the parkway lighting replacement around Lake Harriet this spring. Parkway lights will be relocated from the lake side of the parkway to the boulevard opposite the lake in two locations: south of Lake Harriet between Queen Avenue and Morgan Avenue and northeast of the lake between King’s Highway and 43rd Street.
 
The relocated lights will help preserve mature vegetation by moving equipment access away from the lake and provide even lighting distribution for the parkway and adjacent sidewalk. Adjacent trail lighting will not be impacted.
 
At the end of this round of lighting replacements, all parkway lights on Lake Harriet Parkway will have been replaced.
 
This work is a collaboration between the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and City of Minneapolis.
