I didn't know there was on-going effort to create a continuous parks along the Mississippi. Access to water should be shared with all

Nice! I hadn't heard of RiverFirst (which handled Hall's Island) before, but I like it:

Before Minneapolis was the “city of lakes,” we were a river city.

Now open in 2021, two new RiverFirst projects – Water Works at Mill Ruins Park and the Overlook at 26th Ave N. RiverFirst is a vision for transforming 11 miles of once-industrial Mississippi Riverfront as it flows through the heart of Minneapolis into a welcoming place for all people through improved habitat and miles of new interconnected parks and trails.

Love to see anything that improves our already great cities. The Mississippi is beautiful and we should have more access to it
