The Washington Boulevard Great City Design Team



In five years, Minneapolis will be a connected collection of sustainable urban villages where residents will live within walking distance of what they need or of public transit; there will be a connected network of transportation options; streets will be destinations; a mix of unique small businesses will be thriving; and Minneapolis’ neighborhoods will have unique identities and character.
