Word on the Streets

Come to Hennepin Avenue Public Meeting Apr 25

There is an important public meeting about Hennepin Avenue on April 25. Please come and share your thoughts! We hope to see protected bike lanes as well as improvements for walking. Here's a look at the draft concept the City will be sharing Monday--it includes protected bike lanes!--and some thoughts on how details really matter for Hennepin.

Spring Street Sweeping Season

Official Signs of Spring...

Ice out
Leaf out
Crocuses
Taking studded tires off
Traffic on bike trails
Longer wait times at the bike shop
Hearing birds chirping on my morning rides
and...
STREET SWEEPING!
