It took 311 four months to fix a street light. Don’t use them for emergencies.

Not expecting a response. Just want it logged. Actually looks like a respectful group, just not aware of the rules

The privately owned park is closed after 10. It is expensive to maintain. Please call before they burn a tree down.

So who in charge of sending home all the riff raffs that often congregate in GMP after 10PM to cause trouble?

Well…. They left all their trash behind. Wonder who they expect will clean up.

Right. As expected. Not such a respectful group after all. I was on a zoom call where Billy Peterson from the 1st precinct said even though Gold Medal Park is privately owned, it is appropriate to call for a police response there. That is why I was encouraging that last night. They threw coals on the sidewalk, etc - good thing there wasn't a fire in the trees or hot coals were put in the trash which also could have caused one. The point - the park is closed. They are in violation of rules by just being there. Now the trash. As citizens/residents of this community - we are in charge of holding people accountable, apparently. We used to have law and order...but then came this city council...

DTRes, we need to thank the Zenith building resident who gets up early every morning to pick up the trash left by the riff raffs almost every night night. If it wasn't for him I'm not sure what GMP and 2nd St S would look like.

Egghead! Please thank the Zenith resident for me - I don't know that person, so don't know how to thank him/her. If I ever witness someone picking up, I do thank them. The Gold Medal Park Conservancy address is 900 North Third Street, Minneapolis, MN 55401- if you have information you think they should be aware of and want to contact them. Perhaps they are unaware citizens are picking up and are unaware of how bad the situation is?

DTRes, where can we find the information that park closes at 10PM? I have gone to the GMP website and i haven't seen any park hours. The Commons Park website clearly states that it closes at midnight. (not sure if they still have security and I know is public park). BTW if you walk around GMP around 7-7:30 AM you will see the guy picking up trash. Is the GMP Conservancy affiliated to the McGuire Foundation? Because I have a different address for them. 50 S 6th St Ste 1500
Minneapolis, MN 55402. We need some type of security patrolling along 2nd St S near the park.

Egghead-The Gold Medal Park Conservancy is the not-for-profit 501(c)(3) operating foundation formed to develop and maintain GMPark ,which was the vision of the McGuire family. 900 N Third is the address for them - I am looking at letterhead in front of me. Park hours are 6am-10pm (google gold medal park hours). I have heard those hours confirmed on a variety of zoom safety calls over the past year or so. I'm sure they would appreciate any information you have.
