Hope Happenings

Women of Hope Bible Study Begins This Week!

Hi, I’m Danielle Svobodny! I’m a mother, grandmother, and Family Ministry Advocate at Hope Academy and I’d love to personally invite you to join us for Bible Study! It’s a welcoming space to grow in faith, ask questions, and connect with other moms on their faith journey. We will be meeting weekly on Wednesdays 10am-12pm beginning September 17th.

24th Street Construction Impacting Parking Access

You may have seen signs on 24th Street about an upcoming closure - here’s what you need to know. The City of Minneapolis will be doing roadwork on 24th Street between Park and Chicago during the weeks of September 15 and 22. While the road will be closed to through traffic, access to the 710 main entrance parking lot (Door #1) may be allowed, though it may shift depending on which part of the street is being paved. If the 710 parking lot is closed, you can park in the ramp or on Park Avenue south of 24th Street.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Week of Sept 15: Milling and paving begins. On certain days, entry and exit to the parking lot will shift—sometimes both will be through the entrance, other times through the exit. During some hours the 710 parking lot will be closed and you should use the ramp across the street. Traffic control staff (and our own team) will help manage access.
  • Week of Sept 22: Crews will install new bike lanes on 24th Street. This should be less disruptive but may still cause slowdowns.
  • Franklin Ave Alert: Separately, Franklin Ave eastbound will be closed from Portland to Chicago starting mid-September through mid-November. This will affect traffic flow around the school.

During this time, please plan ahead, as nearby street parking will be impacted and construction may cause delays. If possible, avoid coming and going during peak paving hours (we’ve asked the city to aim for 10:30am–3:00pm for their most disruptive work).

Thank you in advance for your patience as we navigate a few chaotic (but temporary!) weeks. We’ll share updates as we receive them.
