A citizen advisory panel that has been working this fall to come up with the best option for the open field at 43rd St. E. and 19th Ave. S. was supposed to meet tomorrow night, but the meeting has been postponed.
Too bad, as it was to be a critical meeting at which citizens would come up with the best solution to a variety of competing ideas for the land. City officials say they need more time to consider the alternatives before scheduling the meeting.
Driving the discussions has been the city's need to manage stormwater runoff. The field sits at a junction of underground pipes that carry stormwater runoff from a large section of south Minneapolis, some 1,000 acres of land.
Some of the proposals now under consideration include the construction of a stormwater pond on the land. At least one proposal would leave the land as is.
I'll post more information here if anyone wants it.
