Lyndale Community Gardens

Plot-based gardens are available to rent for the season between May and October. The call for applications will first prioritize returning gardeners who met the previous year’s garden guidelines. After that, applications will be reviewed in the order they are received—first open to the entire Lyndale community and then to any interested parties.

Lyndale Urban Lots: RFP for Development

Lyndale Neighborhood Association (LNA) seeks a qualified developer to transform 3 small urban lots (two adjacent, one a single parcel) located at 216 31st Street and 3043 Pleasant Avenue (Development Site 1 and 2), and the parcel at 102 32nd Street (Development Site 3) into residential opportunities that will benefit the neighborhood over the long term. Preference will be given to proposals that develop multiple sites.

As the current owner of these parcels, LNA would like to keep neighborhood residents informed about the plans for their future use and how they will achieve neighborhood housing goals. LNA has monthly Housing and Infrastructure committee meetings and weekly eNews that would be available for use to share information. Staff are also willing to assist in organizing and promoting meetings and helping to inform neighbors about how these properties can be successfully reused.
