Listen
all
this
information
that
I
said
you
can
always
go
to
311.
B
B
C
To
get
that
information
and
and
look
we
gonna
start
to
get
into
it:
Kim
Kmart,
right,
yes,
Kmart
site
the
new
nicholet
project,
I
got
Rebecca
perel
project
supervisor
from
cped
to
talk
about
this.
What's
going
on
with
this,
and
just
really
give
us
some
information
and
and
she's
been
part
of
this
project
for
a
long
time,
so
we
back
listen!
Welcome
to
Minneapolis
360.
F
Yeah,
my
name
again:
Rebecca
perau
I've
been
with
the
city
for
many
years
and
I
work
in
the
commun
Department
of
Community
planning
and
economic
development,
I
work
on
the
economic
development
team,
and
so
as
it
relates
to
the
Kmart
project.
My
team
is
part
of
the
City
that
buys
land
and
then
sells
land,
and
so
I
was
a
part
of
buying
both
the
old
grocery
store.
F
As
folks
remember,
when
there
was
a
super
value
and
then
the
Jerry's
Foods
there
building,
we
did
tear
that
building
down
last
year
and
then
we
bought
the
Kmart
site
as
well,
and
then
we
paid
Kmart
to
terminate
their
lease,
and
so
now
we
own
that
site.
So
that's
one
of
the
big
projects
I
worked
on
I,
also
work
on
other
development
projects
across
the
city.
C
Now
we
we
talked
about
this
quite
a
bit
last
year
and
I
want
to
have
you
on
and
I'm
glad
to
you're
on
to
talk
about
just
some
of
the
the
things
that's
happened
since
then.
You
know
I
like
to
make
sure
I.
Let
folks
know
when
we
talk
about
nicholet
new
Nicollet
it
just
really
referring
to
Kmart,
because
it
can
confuse
a
lot
of
lot
of
people.
So
if
we're
talking
about
Kmart,
the
new
Nicolet
project
tell
us
what's
going
on
with
this
project.
F
Yeah,
that's
a
great
transition
because
we've
been
thinking
about
how
long
we
keep
saying
Kmart
site
Kmart's
gone,
we're
you
know
and
we're
we're
moving
on,
but
it's
still
the
familiar
nomenclature.
It's
still
the
familiar
word
that
everyone
knows
when
you
say
the
side,
they're
like,
oh,
yes
and
folks
know
where
it
is
they're
on
Lake
Street
in
South,
Minneapolis
back
in
the
70s.
The
city
actually
owned.
F
These
properties,
then
as
well
and
sold
it
to
a
real
estate
company
that
then
leased
it
to
Kmart
and
what
they
ended
up
doing
was
making
a
te.
So
if
you're
traveling
north
on
nicholet
Avenue,
you
get
cut
off
right
there
at
Lake
Street
and
you
got
to
go
right
or
left
East
or
West,
because
otherwise
you
run
right
into
to
the
Kmart
parking
lot
and
the
Kmart
building.
F
So
we
bought
the
we
finally
terminated
the
lease
with
Kmart
in
the
summer
of
2020
and
we've
been
working
hard
since,
and
so
we
started
with
some
internal
City
work.
We
came
up
with
you,
know
all
of
the
various
policies
and
ordinances
and
practices
that
we
have
here,
that
various
decisions
that
Council
have
made
and
the
mayor
have
made
over
the
years
that
will
help
govern
this
site.
F
So
our
zoning
code,
our
transportation
action
plan,
our
CL
climate
initiatives
here
in
the
City
of
Minneapolis,
and
so
we
really
put
all
of
those
together
because
we
want
to
make
sure
folks
are
aware
that
what
happens
at
this
site,
it's
10
acres
and
what
happens
here.
We're
really
looking
at
it
from
a
very
holistic
perspective
and
we're
really
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
can
prioritize
City
priorities
on
this
site
in
2022.
F
We
started
our
engagement
and
that
you
know
came
into
the
early
part
of
2023,
so
we
did
lots
of
Engagement
sessions.
Last
last
year
we
had
some
open
houses
that
were
really
well
attended
and
we
were
really
asking
people
about
what
they
wanted
in
the
street
and
what
they
wanted
in
public
space
surrounding
the
you
know,
on
either
side
of
the
street
and
on
the
remaining
parts
of
the
site.
We
know
that
we
will
have
buildings
here.
F
And
so
we
then
took
an
an
engagement
summary
to
council
at
the
beginning
of
this
year,
and
we
started
phase
two
and
so
I'm
here
today
is
to
really
sort
of
start
to
advertise.
Some
big
events
that
we
have
coming
up:
that'll
feed
into
some
big
decisions
that
will
be
coming
to
the
council
in
early
2024.
So
that's
kind
of
where
we're
right
yeah.
That's
what
we've
been
doing.
C
E
D
C
Right
so,
and
one
of
the
things
I
think
is
important
and
you
had
talked
about
it
last
year:
I
think
it
was
September.
You
had
came
on
and
talked
about
these
engagement
processes
and-
and
you
touched
on
it
briefly
about
phase
one
and
two,
just
just
just
kind
of
recap
to
Minneapolis.
What
have
you
learned
through
that
first
phase
of
Engagement
around
this
new.
F
Because,
as
as
I'm
sure,
your
listeners
are
aware,
when
we've
had
our
large
interstates
cut
through
our
neighborhoods,
it
really
creates
a
disconnect
on
many
many
levels
and
so
we're
35.
W
is
still
there.
But
we
are
trying
to
reach
over
that
that
bigest
expanse
of
the
interstate
and
try
to
get
some
more
voices
and
folks
over
to
from
the
East
side,
because
we
know
that
they're
coming
over
and
and
on
the
bus
and
they're
walking
over
and
they're.
D
F
C
Yeah,
no,
that
that's
really
good
talking
to
Rebecca
Perell
from
cped
project
manager,
new
nicolite,
n,
new
nicholet
excuse
me
AKA,
former
Kmart,
and
just
real
quick,
a
followup
to
that
question
and
I
know.
You've
got
a
lot
more
of
information
to
try
to
gather.
But
how
much
have
you
heard
concerns
about
gentrification.
D
F
You
know,
and
this
one's
an
interesting
one.
Yes,
it
is
certainly
something
that
folks
are
talking
about.
It
is
certainly
always
on
the
city's
mind
this
one's
unique
in
that
there's.
Nobody
there
on
this
specific
site
right
now,
and
so
there
won't
be
any.
You
know:
relocation,
we're
not
taking
any
houses
down
or
older
apartment
buildings
or
businesses
like
like
was
the
case
back
in
the
70s.
When
the
city
originally
sold
this
land,
and
so
there
they
did
move
businesses
and
move
people
and
take
buildings
down.
F
So
this
one's
you
know,
Kmart's
left
and
the
grocery
storees
gone,
and
so
we're
not
moving
anyone.
But
we
do
recognize
that
anytime,
you
bring
in
new
development,
be
it
affordable,
housing
or
market
rate.
Housing
are
a
combination
of
both,
which
is
what
we
expect
to
see
here
is
that
you
know
things
change
you
get
new
people
coming
in,
you
get
new
buildings
coming
in
and
it
can
change
the
Dynamics
of
nearby
property
values
or
nearby
rents,
both
on
the
commercial
side
as
well
as
the
residential
side.
F
So
we
did
Engage
The
Uli
Minnesota,
that's
the
Urban
Land
Institute,
and
it's
the
local
chapter
here
in
Minneapolis,
and
they
did
a
really
great
job
of
pulling
together
report
that
we
now
have
this
have
on
the
city's
website
and
they
were
looking
at
two
things.
They
were
looking
at.
What
are
things
that
this
project
can
do
to
both
prevent
displacement
of
residents
and
businesses
from
the
area
nearby?
F
Folks,
here
locally,
as
well
as
six
experts
from
the
local
region
as
well
as
six
from
outside,
so
we
had
folks
coming
in
from
both
coasts,
and
it
was
really
interesting
to
be
able
to
have
some
perspective
from
other
cities
across
the
country
and
how
they're
working
on
these
very
same
issues.
Just
in
different
neighborhoods.
C
Yeah
and
and
I
appreciate
that
and
just
the
the
reason
I
asked
that
question
I
mean
we've
as
a
community.
There's
been
a
lot
of
promises
and
things
that's
happened
to
us,
you
know,
since
you
know,
enslavement
and
and
our
government
and
not
being
trusted
and
I.
You
know
things
can
change.
Sometimes
a
goal
post
moves.
So
the
reason
I
asked
that
is
just
to
make
sure
that
that
at
least
that
I
asked
that
question,
because
we
we
can
never
trust,
I,
think
and
I'm
a
government
employee.
F
It
is,
it
is
the
post
office,
the
United
States
Postal
Service
was
renting
part
of
the
old
Kmart
building
from
the
city
for
three
years,
as
they
were
rebuilding
two
of
their
other
locations,
their
5548
office
and
their
5546
station,
and
so
they've
rebuilt
both
of
those
and
have
moved
their
operations
out
of
the
Kart
building.
And
so
now
that
they're
gone.
F
There's
not
there's
not
what
we
kind
of
call
in
the
in
the
world
of
Economic
Development
and
business
development
and
Community
Development
eyes
on
the
street,
as
we
like
to
say
where
you
have
people
going
in
and
out
of
their
homes
and
in
and
out
of
businesses
and
employees
coming
and
going,
and
all
of
these
other
things
there.
So
without
that
we've
been
having
a
a
harder
time
with
break-ins
into
the
building
and
and
some
vandalism
that
way,
and
so
we
have
made
this
choice
to
put
a
fence
up.
F
B
A
D
D
C
F
F
It
could
be
a
football
Court,
it
could
be
a
basketball
court
or
it
could
be
a
Pickle
bar
cord
or
could
be
a
very
really
flexible
multi-use
sport
cord
that
you
can
switch
from
one
sport
to
the
other.
That
would
also
be
like
a
Hardscape
where
you
know
you
could
have
lots
of
folks
coming
together
from
different
communities
at
different
times
a
day
or
different
times
of
the
week
and
and
partaking,
and
you
know
and
participating
in
different
kinds
of
sports.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that
possibility.
F
Of
course,
we're
not
you
know
we're
we
haven't
decided
where
or
how
much
or
how
that's
all
going
to
work.
We're
we're
still
working
that
out,
but
it's
an
exciting
component.
The
other
piece
we're
looking
at
is
when
buildings
go
up
by
you
know,
property
developers,
then
we're
also
looking
at
how
they
can
incorporate.
Maybe
some
little
small
pocket
Parks
and
how
they
could
we
can.
You
know,
do
a
better
job
of
guiding
those
to
be
along
sidewalks
or
to
be
along
public
walkways.
F
That
really
feel
like
they
are
the
public,
so
that
they're
not
like
sort
of
an
interior
Courtyard
which
obviously
ly
feels
very
private
and
for
just
the
folks
that
live
in
a
specific
unit.
But
we
can
come
up
with
some
ways
and
some
designs
that
really
make
spaces
feel
more
like.
If
you
buy
a
cup
of
coffee,
you
can
sit
down
at
a
park
bench
or
at
a
park,
picnic
table
or
tables
and
chairs
with
umbrellas,
and
it
can
feel
like
it's
anybody's
space
to
sit
in.
C
Welcoming
yes,
yeah,
that
sounds
good
talking
to
Rebecca
perel,
a
project
supervisor
from
cped
for
the
City
of
Minneapolis
y'all,
talking
about
new
nickol
aka,
the
former
Kmart
site,
that
building
is
going
down
y'all.
If
I
do
a
quick
recap,
it
has
been
fenced
up
and
a
lot
of
us
has
probably
been
around
that
area.
So
you've
seen
that
so
that's
coming
down
here,
pretty
quickly
and
and
Rebecca
as
we
race
up
against
the
the
clock.
I
want
to
just
kind
of
talk
about
the
engagement
process.
C
That's
been
happening
with
this
project
and
I
know
we're
in
a
different
phase.
Now
so
like
just
talk
about
how
you
engaging
and
like
how
are
you
making
sure
that
you
reach
the
people
who
really
are
invested
in
that
Community
who
work
there,
who
lived
there?
Who
shop
there?
Who
visit
there
talk
about
those
two
things,
as
we
finish
out
this
conversation.
F
Yeah
great
thanks
so
much
yeah,
so
in
in
small
group
settings
we
tend
to
really
work
with
our
Community
Partners
and
find
out
from
them
who
they're
already
engaging.
So
we
have
worked
with
lak
Street
Council
to
really
engage
the
business
community
in
and
going
to
their
business
meetings
and
trying
to
you
know,
sort
of
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
their
business
news
as
they
communicate
with
their
members.
F
We
also
are
working
very
closely
with
the
Whittier
neighborhood
association,
the
Nate
lindel
neighborhood
association,
Central
neighborhood,
as
well
as
West
Phillips,
and
so
we
go
to
their
meetings.
And
then
you
know
the
Lindale
neighborhood's
really
engaged
at
horn
Tower,
and
so
we
have
some
folks
that
work
at
horn
towers
and
so
we've
had
some
meetings
just
for
horn,
Tower
residents
right
there
at
horn
Towers.
F
So
those
are
some
of
the
examples
from
a
big
scale,
the
two
big
things
that
I
really
want
to
make
sure
folks
hear
about
today.
If
you
don't
live
in
the
area
and
aren't
part
of
those
smaller
communities,
we
do
want
to
hear
from
o.
You
know
everyone
across
the
city
as
well,
and
so
we
have
an
online
survey.
That'll
be
posted
on
the
city's
website.
Next
Tuesday
October,
2nd,
oh
shoot,
I!
Think
it's
the
thir
whatever
whatever
next
Tuesday
is
shoot.
Does
someone
have
a
calendar.
B
C
F
Third
Tuesday
October
3rd,
thank
you
and
then
on
Tuesday
October
10th.
One
week
later,
we're
having
a
big
open
house
and
that'll
be
actually
on
site
in
the
Kmart
parking
lot.
We're
gonna
have
there's
a
food
truck
that
leases
from
us
there,
they're
GNA,
be
we'll
have
some
free
tacos
from
the
food
truck
for
everyone.
F
We're
gonna
have
a
DJ
right
and
the
exciting
part
about
this
one
is
that
we're
actually
going
to
have
the
three
three
concepts
that
are
potential
options
for
what
the
new
streets
will
look
like,
and
it's
going
to
be.
Chalk
painted
right
onto
the
right
onto
the
asphalt,
so
you'll
be
able
to
like
look
South
down
nickolet
and
see
how
big
a
sidewalk
could
be
or
how
narrow
you
know
it
could
be
or
how
wide
the
seating
area
and
the
and
the
extra
grass
and
trees
could
be.
F
So
we're
really
excited
about
the
ability
to
actually
walk,
usually
streets,
don't
have
that
opportunity,
because
there's
cars
and
and
the
buses
and
folks
going
up
and
down
our
streets
before
we
do
projects
on
them,
and
in
this
case
it's
it's
parking
lot.
So
we
have
the
ability
to
do
that.
We're
pretty
excited
to
be
able
to
show
people
in
real
life.
The
lifesize
version
of
what
the
street
could.
C
B
C
F
Yes,
that's
great!
So
really
we
try
to
have
everything.
That's
you
know,
sort
of
part
of
the
project
on
the
website.
So
it's
and
I
know
folks
probably
have
heard
this
a
lot.
It's
at
Minneapolis
mn.gov.
So
that's
just
the
standard,
City
Minneapolis
website
and
then
it's
forward
SL
new-
nickolet.
Another
easy
way
to
get.
There
is,
if
you
just
go
to
the
city's
website
into
the
search-
and
you
put
in
the
word
Kmart
it
it's
not
going
to
be
the
top
one.
F
Unfortunately,
but
you
you
go
a
couple
down
and
you'll
find
it.
Some
of
the
I
think
the
top
turn
right
now
under
Kmart
is
actually
the
anti-displacement
study.
So
that
is
also
of
interest
to
folks,
but
you
can
go
there
and
there's
going
to.
If
you
go
to
the
new
nickolet
page,
there's
going
to
be
a
link
and
you
can
sign
up
for
email
and
we
don't
send
lots
of
them.
So
you
won't
feel
like
you're
getting
inundated
with
new
nickelate
emails.
We
send
them.
