Earlier this evening members of the public entered the Cedar Lake encroachment zone, starting from the south beach. Our leader was an 80 year old man named Jake, who's watched too many park board meetings for his own good. He let us know how many feet of public land was available in each "backyard."

Want a happy city? Build for bikes.
So pleased to see Minneapolis continuing to be on this list & can personally confirm: I am happier here than anywhere I've ever lived.
And a huge factor in that is my ability to live a less car dependent life with my family.

What if… instead of dealing with toxic air every other week for the rest of our lives… we did something about this whole climate change thing?
I hate that my kids are growing up in a world literally & figuratively on fire.

I am VERY excited about this. Thank you @minneapolismn.gov !
I hope they survive the rest of the summer & can be replaced as needed ongoing. I’ll be curious to see driver behavior w/ these - hopefully decent compliance.

Good to see passenger rail advocates in the Twin Cities area organizing a ride the train day this week in support of the Northstar. Losing existing service makes replacing it later on more difficult🚆

Cars are SO loud.
The health impacts from noise pollution are not something an individual has control over preventing.
Due to forced car dependency, we also force higher risk of hearing loss, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sleep issues, stress, memory impairment & childhood learning delays.
