"Rethinking I-94 is a political decision, not an engineering one. The freeway is not necessary for the Twin Cities to thrive & if it is rebuilt or expanded, the harms it created will continue." 👏🏿@OurStreetsMpls👏🏿Mpls needs a boulevard, not more lanes. startribune.com/group-pushes-r…

can’t wait to see all these same people gathered like this to promote municipal sidewalk shoveling since they care so much about people with disabilities being able to get around the city

Is there a better feeling when bike commuting?
Day 24: Rode to the tulip house (25th/Humboldt) 🌷 💐 #30daysofbiking
We're wrapping up #EarthMonth with allies and author @henrygrabar this Monday. His book ignited national discussion about our built environment and (car) parking's impact on housing, transportation and equity. RSVP! act.sierraclub.org/events/details…
Some good questions raised here, but I've found that OSM and RCR are two groups taking community empowerment and anti-displacement very seriously, putting it at the center of their missions. If anyone can use this process for justice, it's them... startribune.com/medcalf-will-p…
.@OregonDOT's proposed $1.9 Billion Rose Quarter Freeway Expansion would at minimum increase greenhouse gas emissions by 20,000 tons a year, annually. Climate leaders don't widen freeways. Are you a climate leader, @TinaKotek? #orpol
This Earth Day, let’s commit to protecting our environment for generations to come.
Please enjoy my first #streetsmn article about bikes, urbanism, and YouTuber, @Nerd4Cities @OurStreetsMpls #venturebikesmidtown @midtowngreenway streets.mn/2024/04/22/a-c…
there's this verbal tick where state DOTs will tell you "yeah, freeways are bad, we shouldn't have built them through communities 75 years ago, but we're stuck with them and by golly we need to keep improving them" and by that they mean keep expanding then x.com/civic_grit/sta…
I'm still frustrated by @PennDOTSec's response to @RepFiedler's question about I-95 widening over blocks of South Philly: youtu.be/h1N1P5a1_SA?t=… At first he sounds reasonable, but he offers South Philly and its reps no agency, only a 'grasp' of their fate. A transcript:
When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not see the evidence of car crashes around you: bent sign posts broken car pieces broken windshield glass tire marks, etc. For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere on sidewalks & streets.
@vancotrough It’s so obvious and so wrong. We are working to push the city on this at @OurStreetsMpls.
It's already mid April and two of the five planned @OpenStreetsMPLS events for this summer don't even have hosts yet—including Franklin Ave in Seward. After ending ties with @OurStreetsMpls, what is Mayor Frey's plan to ensure these quintessential Mpls summer festivals continue?
The founder and longtime organizer of Minneapolis’ popular @OpenStreetsMPLS street fairs will not be involved at all this year Our Streets says the city is basically six months behind — and 2 of 5 planned events in 2024 don’t even have new organizers yet axios.com/local/twin-cit…
Council Member Ellison, another co-author of last year's Open Streets budget amendment: How are we making sure funding doesn't become a barrier for an org like the West Broadway business coalition?
This year's plans for Open Streets events. Only 3 of the 5 events have organizers: Lyndale, W Broadway, Nicollet. City still seeking organizations to take on the other 2. Presentation today at the Minneapolis City Council's AEO Committee. lims.minneapolismn.gov/RCA/12720
Wonsley says the West Broadway Business Coalition is fundraising an additional $100,000 to supplement $50,000 per event assistance from the city. Raises equity concerns for future events if these orgs are expected to raise money to bring events to their community.
In our case, billions.
When you cancel a freeway widening, you have *hundreds of millions* of dollars to build better projects. The money for everything we want in transportation is there, it's just being misspent on the very worst things.
Alexa, play "Good Luck, Babe!" by @ChappellRoan
Council Member Wonsley: Contingency plan for Franklin and Central Ave if the city doesn't get bids? Andrew Ballard, the city's enterprise event manager: "We'll move forward with three events, do them very well and make the city proud."
It was so invigorating to join folks from @rethink35 and @ReconnectAustin giving public comment at CAMPO today against the I-35 expansion! This board has a huge decision in front of them in May - deadline for official public comment is tomorrow! ⏰actionnetwork.org/letters/campo-…
