I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me. Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

Loring Greenway playground construction is making progress. Looking forward to when it opens!

Want a chance to win a free copy of one of my books? I'm running a giveaway this month on The Storygraph (which is an alternative to Goodreads). You can enter the giveaway here: app.thestorygraph.com/giveaways/56...

We are talking about $25-30k for an initial start on a playground replacement for what the city yanked out w/o notice, & the city only has around 10k for it now. This kills me. We throw MILLIONS at the police w/o questioning in this city. Can we have some of their unused budget?

Kids rode their scooters to the Loring Greenway Playground meeting earlier this evening.

. @katiecashman.bsky.social says she will be adding funding loring greenway playground to her budget priorities with mayor frey as this is an important issue to her

. @katiecashman.bsky.social encouraged us to contact the mayor’s office to fund this in his budget. “i’m all for this. you have my 100%,” but we need @mayor.minneapolismn.gov to support a new loring greenway playground

As the spring bike season begins, I’m starting to see gaps in bike parking. Don’t forget - the city will 50% cost share bike parking for businesses. Send this to your business owner friends: www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-arou...

Give me a city safe enough for the rider of this kind of micromobility please

Do you need weekend plans? Join us for our annual winter bonfire on Sunday, March 9, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. We’ll be enjoying some light snacks and community building at the Como Park fire pits near the corner of Hamline Avenue North and Como Avenue. streets.mn/2025/02/24/s...

My oldest rode her bike to the @katiecashman.bsky.social campaign kickoff event earlier today.

Help us get to our $5,500 goal tonight to unlock a generous matching donation of $5,500! We're over halfway but can't do this alone. Donate here to show your support for abundant housing! As of 7:23pm we're at $3,221.

My lab group is doing a research study on cargo bike users in North America. If you are a cargo bike user and have a minute to take the survey we'd love to hear from you. Or please feel free to share or repost for other cargo bike users. Many thanks! pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Walking in to NASA’s JPL today as a woman in science leadership felt almost like a protest. They can take us off the webpages and the walls, but we will still be here, absolutely crushing it, and supporting our community while we do it. Happy International Day of Women in Science, everyone.

I’m tired of enduring verbal harassment day after day on this job. Last week it was Andrea Corbin berating and defaming me at my 200-person community safety townhall. This week it’s Jerry McAfee disrupting our meeting to call us little girls and children. We deserve dignity in our civil discourse.

Winter makes our transportation priorities so clear. Street: well-cleared throughout snowfall Taxpayer subsidized “free” car parking: cleared within 24 hours Sidewalk & bus stop: untouched 48 hours later, w/ lots of footprints from all of the folks who rely on this sidewalk. #plowMPLSsidewalks

“Children are often overlooked by decision-makers and officers in transport, or if they are considered, it's on the school journey.”

Sad news out of South Minneapolis. Over the last couple years Snoopy survived probably 10-20 buff jobs on the bridge over Lyndale. It’s gone now. Doesn’t look like it was painted over and maybe it happened a bit ago, but I only noticed it today due to the heat wave. 🚲

Sorry; I meant to do reminders earlier. There's an Open House re Nicollet Mall & Transit this afternoon at 4 pm in the downtown library atrium. And then the 28th in the IDS Center. www.minneapolismn.gov/government/p...

Minneapolis residents, please sign the petition. Kids need play grounds, folks. Idk what else to tell you to sell this.

Lyndale, Kingfield, Uptown pals, anyone recognize this cat? Dilute calico, very treat and food motivated, tolerates being picked up, very loud meow. She's warm inside my house but I can't keep her in the bathroom for more than the weekend.

You know I like a survey! Take this survey about the tiny green space in the northern point of the Wedge. They are asking especially for input from neighbors and from bikers who use the bike bridge & Bryant Ave Bikeway. It takes 2-5 minutes to complete. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
