Behind the Scenes of Open Streets

Most people who know Our Streets Minneapolis (formerly the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition) know our biggest event Open Streets Minneapolis. Our Streets hosted the first Open Streets Minneapolis event in 2011 after working with the city for two years to make it happen. Slowly through the last seven years, we have increased the number and locations of Open Streets events. This summer we had seven Open Streets events!
