[Mpls] Midtown Greenway Charettes

[Gena Berglund]

I'm kind of confused by the use of the word "charettes." I have no idea 
what a charette is. Is this a word regularly used in Minneapolis? I went 
to the link, www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/planning and dug around a little 
to find this, which I think is much clearer:

Community Meeting #4 - Wednesday, October 19 from 6:30-8:30pm at Salem 
Lutheran Church Lounge area (28th & Lyndale Ave S). Concentrating on the 
area west of I35-W. The workshop (charrette) will allow members of the 
community to contribute to design concepts for specific sites along the 
Greenway. A Spanish interpreter will be available.

Community Meeting #5 - Thursday, October 20 from 6:30-8:30pm at Midtown 
YWCA Community Room (2121 East Lake St). Concentrating on the area east 
of I35-W. The workshop (charrette) will allow members of the community 
to contribute to design concepts for specific sites along the Greenway. 
A Somali interpreter will be available.

When asking for public input, it helps to be clear with your message.
