Public comment period ends Wednesday, November 23, 4:30 pm
The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) provides information
regarding the potential environmental effects of the DeLaSalle High
School Athletic Facility Project (Project). The Project is an addition
of a regulation size football field at the School campus on Nicollet
Island. The use of the field will be shared by DeLaSalle and the
Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB). The new field, when not
used for football, will provide one regulation size soccer field or
three junior soccer fields. The use of this new football and soccer
facility will be shared by DeLaSalle and by the MPRB. The athletic
field will be built on two parcels of land presently divided by Grove
Street, one owned by DeLaSalle, and one owned by the MPRB. The portion
of the existing Grove Street right-of-way between Nicollet Street and
East Island Avenue dividing the parcels would be vacated for the
Project. The Project site is located within the St. Anthony Falls
Historic District. Copies of the EAW are available for review at the
downtown Minneapolis Public Library located at 250 Marquette Ave., the
Southeast Community Library located at 1222 SE 4th St., and in the
office of the City Planning Division at 210 City Hall. It is also
available for review on the City of Minneapolis web site:
