2002 PROSPECT PARK neighborhood id signs

As part of the NRP program in 1999-2000, the PPERRIA Livability Committee (Paula Denman, Lois Willand, Eleanor Montgomery, Heidi Schwabacher, Andy Mickel, Ralph Rapson) performed a photo study of all entrances to the neighborhood, commissioned a sign design and deployed signs. The committee also requested that a "Welcome to Minneapolis / City of Lakes" sign be added at location #9 below.
