This summer, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will undertake a $200,000 project to update Murphy Square, including a more direct east-west crossing.
We have been informed that the Park Board expects fencing to be put up around the perimeter of the park starting today, May 30, in preparation for construction to begin in early June. The park will be closed to the public (including the Augsburg community) for the duration of the project.
A reopening date is anticipated in late summer, though there likely will be some usage limitations through the fall.
