Lane safety conversion & bike lane gap filled on Lowry Ave N!
Shout out to @mennos.bsky.social who pushed for this to get done this year, County staff who got on board, & City crews who installed. This 3-block paint job cost only $12k, but delivers big safety improvements.

Blue Line replacement bus day 1 thoughts: place stops directly on Hiawatha for 38th and 46th instead of pulling into bus transit center. Lake Street stops should be on Hiawatha on/off-ramps instead of B Line stops. Allow buses on shoulder to pass Hiawatha backups.

Met elke jaarring werd onze hoofdstad wereldser, Amsterdam ging in zichzelf geloven, en werd de zelfverklaarde vaandeldrager van progressiviteit, diversiteit en inclusiviteit.

METRO B Line opening day festivities have been canceled. Bus and train service will continue as scheduled. The decision to forego these public events was made after receiving reports of an evolving public safety situation. We urge you to rely on the Dept. of Public Safety for the latest updates. ~BG
