Mndaily: U Rowers Look To Build A Boathouse On Park Property

"Athletics department officials are working with the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board to obtain a parcel of land on the East River Flats to build a $3.5 million to $4 million, 17,000-square-foot facility."

"The University is going to do some things for the parks board," Parks Commissioner Walt Dziedzic said. "From coaching and teaching to daycare, we want the 'U' to help."

Why does Park Board member Hauser support the 35W Excess Project?

From the Taxpayers for Common Sense "Road to Ruin Report":

"One of the proposed ramps would also destroy a playground for low-income children. As mitigation, MnDOT proposes to add parkland in the project area, but many would be directly adjacent to the exit ramps-not an ideal location for recreation or relaxation."
