Met Council SW Sewer Project Meeting & Open House May 8
The meeting and open house will take place at Linden Hills Recreation Center, 3100 W 43rd St from 6:30-8 pm. A formal presentation and question-and-answer session will begin at 6:45 p.m. The remainder of the time will be an open house format. MCES staff and consultants will use maps to show where work on the regional sanitary sewers will be done, will describe how and when the work will take place, and will discuss potential impacts and efforts to mitigate the impacts.
Schedule of where and when the work will take place (Map)
- Segment 1 - May through July 2014: Portions of West Calhoun Parkway, William Berry Parkway and East Lake Harriet Parkway (all areas are west of the Roberts Bird Sanctuary).
- Segment 2 - mid-June through November 2014: Kings Highway from the intersection of Rose Way Road to 36th St., including a portion of Lyndale Farmstead Park, and 36th St. from Kings Highway to the alley between Colfax Ave. and Bryant Ave. (all areas are east of the Roberts Bird Sanctuary).
- Segment 3 - September 2014 through January 2015: Portions of Roberts Bird Sanctuary and the Peace Gardens (landscape restoration will follow in spring 2015).
During the rehabilitation of the sewers, you may experience some temporary inconveniences as the work takes place within your neighborhood. They may include temporary parking and traffic restrictions; contractor equipment parking; extended work hours, including 24-hour operations during portions of the project; and lights, dust and some noise from pumps, generators and other construction equipment. There also may be a resin smell from the curing of the new sewer liner and the potential for sewer odor related to the repair work. MCES and its contractor will work to minimize these odors. We also encourage property owners to make sure there is water in all of the drain traps in their property, as this helps contain odors in the underground pipes.
The sewer rehabilitation work is likely to temporarily interrupt sanitary sewer service for two to five days for properties on Kings Highway from the intersection of Rose Way Road to 36th St., and on 36th St. from Kings Highway to the alley between Colfax Ave. and Bryant Ave. This is because the sanitary sewer lateral lines from these properties connect directly to the regional sewer in need of repair. MCES or its contractor will contact the affected property residents at least four weeks before the work is scheduled to occur, and will compensate them for relocation to a hotel during the sewer service disruption. For approximately 50 properties within 50 feet of the construction, we will want to do pre- and post-construction condition surveys of the properties.
How Will the Work Be Done?
Liners will be installed in the existing sewers using trenchless technology, which will help reduce the amount of excavation required. Sewer maintenance holes will be repaired or replaced as needed, and some maintenance holes will be removed from service. The sewer rehabilitation work will require diversion of wastewater through temporary pipes that generally will be above ground, but they will be buried at driveway entrances and roadway crossings. Except as allowed by the Minneapolis Traffic Department, these temporary sewer pipes will not block any roadways. Excavations will be needed at all maintenance holes and at several additional locations for the temporary sewer pipes. MCES is coordinating its work in park areas with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to try to minimize impact to parkland and to restore affected areas to Park Board requirements.
Additional information about the Southwest Minneapolis Interceptor Rehabilitation Project will be posted and updated periodically on the Metropolitan Council's website.
Met Council Sewer Project Open House January 30
MCES in collaboration with the East Harriet Farmstead Neighborhood Association's Housing, Zoning & Business Committee (HZB) will hold a public information meeting and open house on Wednesday, January 30 to present information about the upcoming sewer repair project. MCES staff and consultants will use maps to show where the regional sanitary sewer repair work will be done, will describe how and when the work will be done, and will discuss potential impacts and efforts to mitigate the impacts.
The January 30 meeting will be held at VOA Southwest Senior Center, 3612 Bryant Ave S, from 7 - 8:30 pm.

Public Hearing Notice: Proposal to Eliminate Food/Alcohol Sales Ratios
1:30 p.m. or shortly thereafter
Room 317 City Hall (350 S. 5th St., Minneapolis)
The Community Development & Regulatory Services Committee will consider amending Chapters 360, 362, and 363 of the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances. If approved, food to alcohol sales ratios will be eliminated for restaurants that sell alcohol and all alcohol establishments will be required to meet new operating standards including employing a certified alcohol manager.
Additional information is available on the website at www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/business-licensing.
You are invited to attend, express your opinions, and/or submit such in writing by sending an email to linda.roberts@ci.minneapolis.mn.us.
Ward 13 Public Meeting:Updating Beer & Wine Ordinances
6:30 p.m.
Lynnhurst Community Center
(Minnehaha Pkwy and W. 50th St)
All City residents invited to attend.
Ward 13 Council Member Linea Palmisano and Lynnhurst Neighborhood Association are hosting a public meeting regarding proposed changes to the ordinances regulating alcohol sales in restaurants in Minneapolis. The proposed changes will be discussed and feedback will be heard from residents and business owners. A public hearing on the proposed changes is expected to take place in September.
The proposed ordinance changes will remove arbitrary sales ratios on food and alcohol that place an unnecessary burden on many businesses that are well-run, positive assets to our neighborhoods. Although the new rules would not require a certain percentage of food sales compared to alcohol, restaurants would still be required derive a substantial amount of their income from the sale of food and non-alcoholic beverages. The proposed ordinance changes will not change the type of establishment or entertainment that's allowed in a particular location-for example, bars will still not be allowed in Southwest Minneapolis.
Alongside these proposals, voters will decide this November whether or not to remove the 70% food to 30% alcohol provision for restaurants in residential areas. If voters choose to remove that requirement from the Charter, those restaurants will be subject to the new ordinances. If voters keep it in place, restaurants in residential areas will still be held to the 70%-30% requirement.

Information Insulation Art at Locus Architecture

Imagine keeping your place warm by wrapping it with issues of the Star Tribune. In the years around World War II, building owners did just that, stuffing the walls and ceilings with yesterday's news. When Locus opened up the ceiling in the old Triangle Printing space they found a 1940 time capsule.
Information Insulation Art brings new life to the old newsprint, displaying the Star Journal and Times Tribune as art. Stop by Locus, for their renovation celebration to view history in a modern art exhibit.
Refreshments, discussion, and a quiz generated from the papers will accompany the exhibition.
