Really enjoyed Minnesota e-bike rebate program commentary from @lucyrehm.bsky.social, who is also the chief House author. To paraphrase: let us meet enthusiastic response by doing *more*:

Newer construction meets some of the oldest tunnels under Minneapolis, dating back to 1870s under Chicago Ave, Washington, Hennepin, and other streets. Staff mentioned that you can find anything down there because it all washes into storm water drains including many different IDs.

Much respect to the Central City Tunnel system team, the underground cathedral-style tunnels are gorgeous. And… success, in that we made down, up, and back out!

Completing quick confined space briefing and safety awareness training ahead of entry.

Setup and prep for a sanctioned Minneapolis sewer tour with Public Works. Looking forward to a 70’ descent into the underground.

How close did the tunnel get to these former grail silo towers now condos? Pretty close!
June 9, 2025 at 5:50 PM
The tunnel resurfaces beside the new Lake street station, just past the condos.

Laying the rail is still an actively continuing project inside the mile-long tunnel.

68,000 yards of concrete, underwater welding dive teams, and lots of water pumping made it possible to work and build as deep as nearly 50’ below Cedar Lake Parkway. Long-term water mitigation is planned into the infrastructure itself.

Attending the @metrotransitmn.bsky.social tour of the Kenilworth LRT tunnel expanding the Green Line. Adjacent bike trails targeting a return by the end of the year alongside new concrete sitting areas and pavilions at the near the east entrance.

Petrified Forest National Park rocks.

How did the trees in this enormous log jam crystallize into quartz? Volcanoes covered this area in silica-rich ash from Earth’s mantle over 200M years ago. The colors beyond white that make up this rainbow are from impurities like iron. 🌈

Best Minneapolis weekend of the year with Art-a-Whirl and Doors Open. The historic Advance Thresher / Emerson-Newton building contained an awesome sculpture made from bike chain!

Day 2 at Pinnacles started with so much fog, followed by giant pine cones and rocks so big they had to be seen to be believed.

Day 1 at Pinnacles National Park, this place genuinely throbs with life from mobs of condors and turkey vultures in the sky to bird song, blooming flowers and lizards everywhere. The talus caves caused by fallen boulders are fun and dark to explore.

Can recommend Point Lobos, just a gorgeous set of trails for hiking beside the Pacific near Monterey and Carmel.

Upper Yosemite Falls, Sentinel rock, and Yosemite Valley as a light rain started to roll in.

Needed a 🔥 🌯 from Brito’s Burritos and took the most badass method of transportation I could find.

There might be a tornado later but #30DaysofBiking can’t wait.

The voicemail transcript from the city seems to be a mix of serious and casual.

This morning’s #mspcyclecast: Sunrise and moderate winds, commuters shouldn’t find too much traffic on Bde Maka Ska but watch out for icy spots…
