"We are tired of being reactive and offering solutions to just minimize harm and the expected displacement from gentrification. We demand that all community development projects begin not with the developer and City’s vision in mind, but with community in mind."
Roxxanne O'Brien of CMEJ: "We are tired of being reactive and offering solutions to minimize harm...climate change, the city's legacy of environmental racism must be met head on ... We must do better." #UpperHarborTerminal

Take action: The environmental study for Upper Harbor Terminal is missing important analysis.
We have a pre-filled message to make it super easy, but we encourage you to customize it to address additional concerns.

@MCEA1974 We at @FriendsMissRiv are still finalizing our comments on the city's study, but in summary: we're not impressed. Residents deserve a more complete, transparent, and accurate environmental review for this massive project on public land.
Public comments on the #UpperHarborTerminal environmental review are due 6/24. Learn more at this event with Community Members for Environmental Justice and @MCEA1974
Next Thursday at 7:30pm - join CMEJ and MCEA for an online Upper Harbor Terminal public comment writing workshop.
Learn what the study says, what it's missing, and how you can submit a public comment.
Please share widely!

The @CityMinneapolis council BIHZ committee will see an #UpperHarborTerminal presentation today at 1:30.
We hope they'll ask Qs:
➡️ How do we know whether this will benefit #NorthMPLS residents first and foremost?
➡️ When will we get more details about costs and benefits?
#UpperHarborTerminal needs to bring environmental justice to #NorthMPLS. We need to make sure the project doesn't add to the vehicle emissions, toxic air, noise, auto-dependent design, and other burdens already placed on neighbors.
A plan to move forward with a major redevelopment of Minneapolis' Upper Harbor Terminal, a 48-acre site formerly home to a barge terminal, has been postponed after environmentalists raised concerns about its effect on the Mississippi River. https://t.co/KSdcS2qwek
Tonight the #UpperHarborTerminal planning committee received 250+ widely varied public comments on the development plan... yet demonstrated no interest in incorporating the feedback into the plan. What's the point of a public comment period if the committee just dismisses them?
