This week, the Planning Commission is reviewing the Transportation chapter of Northfield's Comprehensive Plan. In addition to revising the language to include more references to multiple means of mobility (not just automobiles), we need to consider exactly how bike and pedestrian trails fit into the picture. Dundas Planning Commission chair Bruce Morlan had a piece in the StarTribune last week in response to the Strib's nice but rather uninsightful article about Dundas development on May 16.

In our upcoming Locally Grown audio show, we've invited former City councilwoman Peg Prowe to talk about the MIll Towns Trail project, which just received $1M from the State. We’ll be doing our recording session downtown in the new James Gang Hideaway at 421 Division Street, Friday at 2:30 PM, in case anyone wants to be in the “studio audience.” We might even take questions/comments “live”. Please join us!
