Word on the Streets

Progress at Cedar/Franklin/Minnehaha!

The intersection of Cedar/Franklin/Minnehaha is the second most dangerous intersection in Minneapolis, with the second most bicycle crashes. It is also one of the most dangerous intersections in Hennepin County, with vehicle crash rates more than two and a half times the “critical rate.”

Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis, and other local groups worked together over the last few years to design a plan to improve this intersection (click image for bigger version).

Thanks for a great start to the Open Streets season!

Today is officially the first day of Summer 2017, and it is off to a spectacular start with the first two Open Streets events in the books.

Thanks to all who attended and contributed to the magic, and a special thanks to our incredible volunteers who make these events possible and help them run so smoothly. There will be a brief hiatus until Lake & Minnehaha Open Streets, so here's a little recap of the first two events and a preview of what you have to look forward to during the rest of the summer!
