While I'm talking about 50th, I may as well expand. Of all the streets in my neighborhood, this is by far the most hostile to non-drivers. These pictures are between Lynnhurst Park and Bryant on 50th. What I would give to comfortably walk from the park to the coffee shop with a stroller.

My daughter has been home sick and refuses to sleep unless she's on a bike ride. So we did 15 miles this morning, going as slow as possible. Meandered through Lakewood Cemetery looking for the ghost of Hubert Humphrey.

In Minnesota, drivers are required to stop for pedestrians at BOTH marked and unmarked crosswalks. Here I am at one of my least favorite streets, 50th, at one of my least favorite intersections, 50th and Aldrich. Let's see how long it takes for someone to follow the law.

4 yr old: Why do you always dance like that? Me: Like what? 4 yr old: Bad.

6 years ago, we moved to a house that made Lake Harriett walks very easy. We wondered if we would start to take it for granted at some point. Hasn't happened yet.

Hot tip for Josh. I'm nowhere near Ward 8. Would not recommend voting for him. Seems incompotent.

I finally got a chance to watch this interview. This video has created a burning desire to know who is the most capable Minneapolis elected official on ice skates and a need to watch an "ice skating on the lakes" interview this winter.

What happens when you report traffic control parked in a bike lane to traffic control? Probably what always happens: nothing.

This born and raised candidate didn't realize the 2040 Plan was settled when @wedge.live interviewed him. Maybe he should have been born and raised earlier so he'd have a better grasp of basic Minneapolis issues.

What do you do when you're waiting for the Orange Line at American Blvd and your 4 yr old needs to pee and can't hold it any longer? Asking for a friend.

Is there really not a single serious person in Ward 13 willing to run against Palmisano from the left?

I'd really love a Ward 13 candidate take housing policy more seriously.

One of the main reasons my wife and I moved to Minneapolis 6 years ago was so we could maximize our opportunities to ice skate outdoors. Every cold day like this is one day closer to the best time of the year in Minneapolis.

Night biking on Bryant!

Interesting idea to fund climate action at the city level; one of the only sensible funding sources we have! sahanjournal.com/climate-envi...

Lawn signs showed up today. Doing my part to balance Ward 13. Maybe one day we can get a council candidate I'd be happy to include.

My 4 year old noticed the rainbow on our bike ride to child care this morning. I would have missed it.

Cashman's got labor, Shaffer with the C Suite, but who's got middle management's back? Who's with the men who've been promoted to their level of incompetence already and barely afford to send their 3 kids to Benilde-St Margaret's?

Beautiful!

May we look upon this moment in the future and say, "This was the beginning of the end for Southwest Transit."

Beautiful morning to commute to Chanhassen by bike.

Both kids are napping simultaneously. I will be savoring this moment for weeks.

Frey watch: currently at Gigi’s cafe

Pioneer Press is looking for a cargo bike family in St. Paul that’s interested in letting them take some pics/ videos of the fam doing cargo bike stuff. The writer reaching out recently had an Urban Arrow demo, but I don’t think he’s picky about what bike the fam is using. Let me know if interested.

Move MN @moveminnesota.bsky.social has a template for sending a letter to Minneapolis City Council to tell them to Withhold Municipal Consent for the Lyndale Ave Redesign until the plan includes safe options for pedestrians, buses, bikes, and everyone! Please share! www.movemn.org/action/lynda...

Yes! I host sustainable bus babes tours that is family friendly, be sure to follow us on IG @jooncommunity or check out our website here: www.jooncommunity.org

Facebook Marketplace highlighting some real gems.

Business idea: cargo bike Uber. You need a ride somewhere - book a ride in a cargo bike. Bike shows up, you hop on and get a ride to your destination. Fare is free, but you are required to both listen to your driver talk about their bike and ask about their accessories for the duration of the ride.

Apparently, John Clarke has been salty that he hadn't won his Nobel for decades. Also, interesting that Devoret's close collaborator Rob Schoelkoepf wasn't included.

A high-quality bike network and robust community of people who bike can help support local businesses.

Don't let the county gaslight you. There is plenty of space on Lyndale for everyone. Their own Orange option demonstrated that last year. Ask your CM to hold the County's feet to the fire.

Does anyone in Minneapolis organize family-friendly Metro Transit meet-up events? Meet up and ride the bus somewhere for coffee and treats? Bus equivalents of Perrenial Family Fun Rides?

TC Marathon is one of the best parades of the year.

We might be committing comic book crime this Halloween.

Look at these assholes taking up my bike parking spot at work.

Did you know you can use cargo bikes as a rockship transport vehicle? Launch was a success.

Jamison Whiting/Frey signs seen in Ward 13. 🤔

First time at D's. Delicious. So many vegetarian and vegan options. Just bring water so you don't pay $3 for a bottle.

When I see scientific research findings being shared from an outlet that doesn't do scientific research, I automatically assume that the study's conclusions are completely mischaracterized. Am I the only one?

So as far as I can tell, if municipal consent doesn't pass on Lyndale, the MNDoT Commissioner can set up a dispute resolution board. I don't have a lot of confidence that a dispute resolution board with the Mayor will provide particularly meaningful feedback on a Lyndale redesign....

Brought my visiting Japanese colleagues to Asia Mall in Eden Prarie. Ate at the Pho restaurant and then walked through the grocery store. It received an authentic Asian seal of approval

The sky has been crazy for the past 10 min. Looking west in Lynnhurst.

Terrific @blindeke.bsky.social article on Lyndale Ave. He does a great job listing the many issues with the design put forward by the county and asks the fundamental question: "What the hell happened here?"

Did you know: On Lyndale Ave, average daily traffic has dropped dramatically over the last 20 years, according to MNDoT. Seems to me the county's Lyndale redesign ignores this information.

Caution on the streets of Eden Prarie. Just saw my first autonomous vehicle for SW Transit.

Does anyone know what's going on with the Minneapolis Secure Bike Parking pilot program. I thought bike lockers were going to be up and running around now?

Are daycare and preschool two separate problems? In our household, we found reasonably affordable daycare ($1200/month). This year, our oldest was ready for preschool, but there is no public "all day" option. We had to send him to private preschool, which is more than double the cost of daycare.

Why are all of these Linea Palmisano lawn signs going up? Isn't she running unopposed?

I've been so frazzled recently that I forgot to share this pic of a baby snapping turtle I saw on my bike commute. Apologies for the delay.

One of the things I love about Minneapolis is that it's clear that there is a community that genuinely cares about making the city better, and I think that in many instances, the city has made decisions that reflect that. I hope we can get the county on board in the future as well.
