Hundreds show up to sound off on the Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan

It took two overflow rooms to accommodate the hundreds of Minneapolis residents who showed up to City Hall Monday night to speak at the city’s first formal hearing on a two-decade plan for the future.

The Minneapolis Planning Commission spent four hours listening to impassioned testimony on the Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan, ranging from people asking the city to scrap the entire plan and start over, to those appealing to the commission to amend it for changes on specific properties and some urging the commissioners to push even further in loosening zoning restrictions to allow for more multiunit housing in Minneapolis neighborhoods.
