I get really pissed off at my own friends and acquaintances sometimes, because people are always asking me why I am so militant about bad drivers, bike lanes, and crosswalks
"Why do you care so much about that? Why do you confront drivers?"
Because people are dying and no one else seems to care

Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost

Re today’s Hennepin Cty Lyndale Ave botch (they cut out bike infra for a “shared use” lane mixing bikes & pedestrians; sub-Bryant Ave; won’t work). Biz owners behind Frey want compliant Council as of 1/26 … this is among big reasons Uptown Assn & ThriveMpls are spending $$. Support progressives!
They will also need municipal consent from Minneapolis, so send strongly worded letters to Aisha Chughtai, too.

Best I can tell the county found a way to eliminate the bike path, while preserving their ability to say they haven't eliminated the bike path. Bizarre outcome.
The final concept design for Lyndale Ave is out and friends, it's really bad. They have a SHARED USE PATH on the east side of the street.
You don't put shared use paths in busy commercial areas, especially when this is in one of the densest neighborhoods in the entire state!

Tearing down City Center would open more space for a park/plaza too.
Then pedestrianize 6th St and First Avenue. That's the entertainment district anyway.

you don’t need to move transit off nicollet mall in order to activate it. every event they do like the street art festival takes up the street and leaves the huge sidewalks empty. tents can be on the sidewalks and still have transit -

Ok, next challenge. Actually go to Uptown! Farmers Market on Thursday. Concert at Green Room on Fri. Go get tacos at La Bodega. Go buy something at Moona Moono. Support what we’ve got or stop complaining.
More than 2,000 readers answered the question “Where is Uptown?” Responses were all over the map. Literally.
Generational differences became clear as readers defined the Minneapolis neighborhood beyond just its geography.
