After a rough two weeks in federal news it was super uplifting to hear @dewayneforminneapolis.com’s vision for Minneapolis as a mayoral candidate this afternoon at Wildflyer. Check out his campaign!

Also watching @omarfatehmn.com’s campaign!

Remember, friends don’t let friends rank Jacob Frey!

Hey MnDOT don’t think you can slide this in right before the holidays without us noticing! Keep the Boulevard options on the table!
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is quietly eliminating the at-grade boulevard options (A and B) from the Rethinking I-94 project. This move, rushed before the holidays, deprives communities of a chance to explore a transformative alternative to the highway trench. 🧵(1/9)

Twin Cities Boulevard is practical, not radical.

“Reimagining I-94: A Report on Reparative Highway Alternatives & Evaluation Metrics” addresses how removing I-94 would work, what it might look like, and what the community benefits would be.

Some parts of Open Streets Lyndale were State Fair level busy this beautiful Sunday fall afternoon

Kudos to the @ourstreetsmpls.bsky.social for another amazing year of Open Streets events - your efforts are seen and will hopefully continue to be reflected in future years!
