Lagoon Cinema is closed today, don'tcha know. #mnwx

The Midtown Greenway is getting plowed right now! The Bryant Ave bike trail looks recently cleared too.

This display at the Minneapolis Central Library is so good. "Who's mentioned in the Epstein Files? Find them here."

The Midtown Greenway is open again at 10th Ave as all parts over the trail were demolished. We have a new tunnel for the time being, I'm hoping this will mean limited closures this summer.

10th Ave S bridge demo, end of day 1.

The 10th Ave Bridge over the Midtown Greenway had the deck removed yesterday, and the span removal making progress today. The first two photos are from around 6:30 PM on March 11, and the latter two from 3:45 PM on March 12.

It's happeninnngggg 🚧🙌

The Midtown Greenway will be closed with a detour starting on March 11 for the removal of the 10th Ave Bridge deck. The detour goes from Park Ave, along 28th St, and to the Cepro Site park via 10th Ave. Thankfully a short detour for this bridge! www.minneapolismn.gov/governm...

It's March 9th and 49ºF outside and I just heard someone in my building's air conditioning start up outside my window. This feels too soon!

🚨🚨🚨Sunday's Emergency has been upgraded to a Level 1 (FULL ACTIVATION) DJ Emergency Ride. DJ @deveric.net will be providing the beats. @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social will be responsible for getting you home safely.

Congrats to Rep. @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social and family, who biked to the hospital last week and came back with baby Hans. Here's what she told me about the ride:

Keep May 9, June 6, July 12, and August 22 open on your calendar IMO IJS JAT. There'll be other surprises along the way, too!

There are so many trolly buses in Vancouver, Canada, I'm in love.

I don’t know what this means, but I’m there. You had me at “bike party”!

🚨🕺 NEAR SIDE SIGNALS🕺 🚨

2 kegs of hamms and NINE bottles of malort were sacrificed upon the altar of the Stump Party

This is so Minneapolis core. Linking to word_on_the_street on Instagram. Seen on the Kenilworth Trail near the river.

I'm such a biker that when I go downhill skiing on groomed runs, only my arms are sore the next day (from using my poles). Every day is a leg day when bike commuting!

The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride in Minneapolis today was massive and so powerful to be a part of. I've seen estimates of 3-5 thousand riders, taking up to an hour for the ride to pass through an intersection.

29th Street Rail Corridor (1970s; 1980s; 1990s) Source: Hennepin County Library The railroad tracks were part of a Milwaukee Road railroad corridor. After this route was abandoned, it was transformed into the Midtown Greenway, a rail trail in Minneapolis that follows the path of the old route. ...

There Are No Safe Streets under Fascist Occupation: https://streets.mn/2026/01/23/there-are-no-safe-streets-under-fascist-occupation/ ICE surveillance and "occupation" are hollowing out Twin Cities' cultural corridors.

It was awe-inspiring to see so many people out in the cold (-10ºF) fighting against ICE and fascism at the #ICEProtest in #Minneapolis today. Alex Kormann from The Minnesota Star Tribune got a photo that included me and some friends.

I'm on the 4 bus heading downtown and this is the most packed I've ever seen a bus in Minneapolis, ever. Everyone is bundled up ready to stand outside in -14°F weather.

Wow, it's sunny and already 11ºF warmer than when I woke up, it's only -10ºF right now! #mnwx

Yesterday, I picked up an 8-gal keg and transported it via the bus! Our last bus driver was quite supportive of us 😆 Happy New Year!

I dove into the details about why Green Line Extension testing is going to take over a year, and the answers may surprise you! www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

🚨 An emergency bike ride has been declared. We depart Mueller Park tonight at 7:30 pm.

The lights are fixed!!! The Midtown Greenway is now lit up from the river all the way to Uptown!

Check out my latest post about the Nicollet Avenue bridge over the Midtown Greenway! It’s a small addendum to my pair of historical deep dive pieces from this past spring.

I visited the Upper Harbor Terminal late this afternoon now that a new path is completed. The site offers some incredible views, new access to the river, and I think is going to be a popular spot! www.mwmo.org/projects/upper-h...

Oh snap, thank you to Arts Midwest for covering our DJ rides! We have so much planned for 2026, I'm pumped to watch it all unfold. Thanks to all the DJs we had out this year! 2026 is going to be AMAZING!! www.instagram.com/reel/DQ-ASmd... @perennialcycle.bsky.social @joyfulridersclub.bsky.social

Sounds like we may be able to do this all over again tonight?? From last night at the W 21st Street train station in Minneapolis.

The Midtown Greenway has never looked so good with the northern lights and recently repairs lights.

More northern lights photos from Minneapolis (Lyndale neighborhood)!

Woah, great northern lights tonight!

Asphalt was laid out today at the West Lake Street Station at the junction of the Midtown Greenway and Kenilworth Trail! The concrete curbs are partially covered, but there's a bike roundabout in there!

Join the Streets.mn board! We’re a good org for trying out board work for the first time too. Join us on Saturday Nov. 15 for a chance to learn more and hang out at Midtown Global Market from 11 AM - 2 PM.

I found a bunch of cool photos from the Hennepin County Library (Whittier Alliance Records collection) of the old Sheffield Elevator Company grain elevator. It stood between Harriet and Garfield Avenues along the 29th Street railroad (Midtown Greenway), now occupied by the Soo Line Garden.

Looooong lines to vote in Minneapolis precincts 10-1 and 10-2, probably about a 15 minute wait right now.

What a timely historical photo given the bridge demolition this week!

Here's another Nicollet Ave bridge over the Midtown Greenway demolition update. I caught the crew ending their day just after 6 PM this evening.

Nice, the Flux Apartments building on Girard Ave and the Greenway is draining their pool directly into the pedestrian path.

The Nicollet Ave bridge over the Midtown Greenway is just rubble at this point. They work fast! Photos from around 1 PM today.

I missed it from this summer, but it looks like in addition to a new Nicollet Ave bridge, the city approved new bridges at Pillsbury and 10th Aves for 2026, and Grand and 18th Aves in 2027. Lots of greenway closures coming up (but new safe bridges too) 😩

More from today's initial light rail vehicle roll down the Southwest LRT route. Construction began in 2018 and Metro Transit says passengers will ride in 2027. Over the Kenilworth Channel, leaving W Lake St Station, arriving at W 21st St Station, exiting the Kenilworth tunnel.

Demolition of the Nicollet Ave bridge over the Midtown Greenway began today.
