The Minneapolis Downtown Council has unveiled a new plan to revitalize the city – Downtown by Design or “The 2035 Plan”. The four main tenets of the plan: neighborhood cultivation, foundational safety, hassle-free systems, and irresistible vibe. The plan proposes many changes, including converting commercial space into housing and making Nicollet Mall a pedestrian-only thoroughfare. It also includes more modest goals, such as removing pavement and grating around trees on Nicollet Mall. About 200 people helped draft this plan, including representatives from government, major corporations, sports teams, the hospitality sector, and nonprofits.
