"MnDOT is uninterested in seriously addressing climate change. This is climate defeatism; starting from the assumption that any action that fits the scale of looming climate destruction is too big to pursue."

There's no such thing as a one man government. We need a Mayor ready to collaborate, build relationships, and ensure Minneapolis is taking a cross jurisdictional approach to solve the City's problems.

Minneapolis can’t seem to do right by East Phillips so the gloves are off again. EPNI will be providing emergency box fan filters for the community free of charge, and it is exploring legal action. If the system won’t protect us (again) we will.

"The highway blighted the neighborhood in ways that led to further destruction in the 1970s, when HUD removed 60-plus other houses. It was only through major neighborhood opposition that every house in the place wasn’t condemned in order to convert the whole area into industrial zoning."

A beautiful new piece in the Star Tribune shows how @MNDOT’s decision on Rethinking 94 is putting our futures in jeopardy. With a once-in-a-generation chance to make lasting positive change, MnDOT is putting our communities at risk.
