I live in the toxic blast zone of I-94 and experience its awful effects nearly every day. This article is for my neighbors, my cities, and myself. We can and must do so much better with this project.

"If this rally is any indication, that period will likely be fraught with opposition to advancing the project without first exploring alternatives that do not involve rebuilding the highway." @mndot.mn.gov www.ourstreetsmn.org/2025/11/10/t...

"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." @mfrumholtz.bsky.social @lenasophia.bsky.social www.startribune.com/mndots-clima...

Published my first Op-Ed w/ Professor Ed Goetz on how the national narrative about Minneapolis misses how zoning and market rate housing are necessary but not sufficient to help lower-income renters 🧵 www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

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.

Reminds me of @equalityalec.bsky.social ‘s phenomenal talk in Minneapolis this week and how media “narrows” our perceptions.

Lead, soot, toxic air pollution. Northern iron needs to go…

Access without safety is not equity. These lakes are ours together, and they must be safe for everyone!

My office has worked with UMN staff, students, and neighborhood leaders to craft a funding proposal that we presented to the University District Alliance (UDA) for approval. The proposal passed!

Thank you to everyone who came out to support us and this movement for a park system that puts people first! 🌳 Now, let’s keep going! Link in bio to get involved. #MichaelForParks #ParksForThepeople #MnplsParks

what a shock, this is happening on nicollet mall. these events are part of plan to remove transit from nicollet mall by showing what they can do instead no such care is given to showing how the streetscape where nicollet mall transit would move will be improved bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

There's still time to act. Take action to keep the Twin Cities Boulevard vision alive. youtu.be/fepz3l2Tn8Q?...

Within months, @mndot.mn.gov wants to remove all freeway removal options from its "Rethinking I-94" process--BEFORE the real environmental & health review 30 orgs, including 15 neighborhood associations, have signed onto this letter asking them to keep freeway removal in the mix You can sign too!

Racketcast gets timely!

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. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

ICYMI: while people in MSP fight to keep MnDOT from rebuilding I-94 in our already polluted neighborhoods, people in Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center are being muzzled in their efforts to keep @mndot.bsky.social and their consultants from turning 252 into a highway. ***SHAME***

Melissa and I wrote about our research being purged... www.minnpost.com/community-vo...

The Office of the Legislative Auditor says the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency was out of alignment with federal compliance standards, and should also improve how it handles complaints from the public. By Andrew Hazzard

"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. https://buff.ly/4hxQi3c

Keep it coming, young Jedi.

Getting to the core of MnDOT's depraved highway analysis. They're poisoning us on purpose.

Neighbors complain about pollution from Northern Iron as the St. Paul foundry continues legal fight with the state. Written by Andrew Hazzard.

Read this scathing analysis by @twincitiesdsa.bsky.social, @ourstreetsmn.org, & MN Communities over Highways Coalition of @mndot.bsky.social's plan to cut the boulevard option re: 94: twincitiesdsa.org/2025/01/just... then tell MnDot what you think on friday! wsbeng.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Have you thought to yourself, “I wish I understood how the MN Dept of Transport decided to remove from consideration the seemingly most popular option —freeway removal — and whether their reasoning was abjectly, laughably bad”? Have I got a report for you! twincitiesdsa.org/2025/01/just...

I wrote about bollards. Apparently they're controversial? MOAR BOLLARDS, I say! www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...
