The community has noticed the difference in communication around construction on 35th and 36th street - large signs, photos, ability for public comment. The difference needs to be fixed now.

1. Who is being hired to work on this project?

2. How much is being spent?

3. How are the contractors being selected?

1. Release the plan to ensure that the Black business district at 38th and Chicago will not be displaced

2. Release the plan to ensure that the residents living at 38th and Chicago will not be displaced

3. Collaborate with Hennepin County to ensure property taxes for commercial and residential properties are frozen and abated until the construction is completed
