Maple Grove City's Development Project Leaves Homeowner Landlocked, Sparks Outcry
Maple Grove, MN – A long-time resident of Maple Grove, Dawn Cooper, has voiced significant concerns after the city reportedly closed the public road fronting her family home, designating it as her private driveway. The move, undertaken without the family's consent, has left Cooper's property 'landlocked' and burdened with the responsibility of maintaining a 1,000-foot stretch of road that was once public. The change is part of a 'massive development' project in the area. Cooper stated in a recent video, 'After 60 years of having a house in the family, paying taxes, the city could just take your whole street in front of your house without your consent.' She further explained, 'They said this is now our driveway. It is 1,000 feet long.' The homeowner is now facing uncertainty regarding essential services like garbage collection and mail delivery, and has already incurred thousands of dollars in legal fees to navigate the complex situation. 'We're trying to figure this out,' Cooper said, expressing her frustration that 'the city just doesn't care apparently about one small homeowner.' The situation has sparked considerable debate online, with many expressing support for Cooper and questioning the city's process for such significant changes affecting private property access.
