PLANNING TIMELINE
GREENWAY VISIONING
-a beginning -
“Look forward for a century, to the time when the city has a
population of a million and think what will be their wants.
They will have wealth enough to purchase all that money can
buy, but all their wealth cannot purchase a lost opportunity, or
restore natural features of grandeur and beauty, which would
then possess priceless value . . .”
—Horace Cleveland
Minneapolis Park System Landscape Architect, 1883
