Abolish ICE 🚫🧊

Rep @katiejonesmpls.bsky.social is the hero of this call. Bringing up air quality as something she wants to see included in the analysis of alternatives. MnDOT hasn't done a thing to monitor or measure or mitigate air quality in this project: BECAUSE IT IS NOT REQUIRED. They're trying to kill us.

Re: Rethinking I-94 60-day public comment period. "All the planning charts & demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint & it’s far too late to start making a fuss now."

Student have walked out at Burnsville schools in protest against gestapo activity around the Minneapolis metro.

Let's talk about today's #Rethinking94 project update, happening now. MnDOT Commissioner Daubenberger acknowledges receipt of the "at-grade alternative petition," hopes for "respectful dialogue" and "strongly believes we can advance real change in the corridor." Hates to disappoint.

BREAKING: Northsider Susan Tincher was taken away by what her husband assumes were ICE agents this morning at 21st Street and Oliver Avenue North around 6 a.m. “No idea where she is,” Jim Tincher, Susan’s husband, shared with North News Tuesday morning. “This is just ridiculous.” More here:

ICE took 3 people out of a house at 21st and Oliver over North and arrested an observer.

It's not a real bus rapid transit system until you COMPLETE THE WEDGE. Finish drawing that triangle. Lake, Hennepin, and Lyndale.

Shoveled the driveway, stepped back, and the only tracks were from bikes. That’s the Minneapolis winter I signed up for.

It's time once again for my annual #treebybike post. This is the 12/19/42 cover of @newyorker.com, so one full year after the attack on Pearl Harbor. This would be the first real Christmas alone, or without a family member, for millions in the US. Gas and tire rationing had begun earlier that year.🗃️

carbrain people want all our infrastructure focused on cars so they can pass through an area faster, meanwhile the people that live in that area walk and ride bicycles. it makes no sense to cater to passersby

Hey man you can’t park there

While at the E Line opening ceremony Kira asked when @metrotransitmn.bsky.social is going to have a K Line.

And we’re off! The first-ever METRO E Line trips departed a little before 4:30 a.m. this morning! No fares are required to ride the E Line today until 10 p.m. thanks to our sponsor, @minneapoliscollege.bsky.social. Check the schedule and plan your trip here: www.metrotransit.org/route/eline

“No one bikes in the winter.” Minneapolis protected bikelane at 4pm after 1-2” fell in the middle of the day: Look at all of these bike tracks made outside of the popular commute times. 😍

Worth watching not just because it's fun. The Frey admin choosing to implement the budget priorities of their friends over their foes is not how the council's power of the purse is supposed to work.

Another one bites the dust. Drivers cannot stop hitting this sign with their cars. I’m also curious why the city didn’t remove the yellow flexposts before sending plows down the bikeway this week. The ones that survived previous months are now strewn about within the bikelane on each block.

If tiny cars are too dangerous to be allowed on our streets, think of how it feels to be a pedestrian or cyclist!

It’s a bit chilly (-7°F) out this morning. But the roads and trails are pretty good. #MSPCyclecast

These two vehicles simply are not the same problem #ebike #cargobike #bikedc

Is @mayorfrey.com going to do anything about this? You made a huge stink last year, sticking up to Vance and his cronies, yet here we are. And @governorwalz.mn.gov I'm not voting for you next year as long as this continues. Y'all should be ashamed. Letting your constituents be abducted. FFS.

According to Reddit at about 8:15Am, ICE are at Hola Arepa.

Local News Quiz: Person on the street tells Fox 9 "it's unconscionable what happened, but we believe in forgiveness." What is she referring to? A. Grisly murder B. Scam targeting the elderly C. Police misconduct D. Street construction for a new bus line

Conditions basically unchanged. Bryant Ave around Franklin is still a mess. Bikeways are holding steady. In downtown a cop tried to roll a red at me, then stopped by blocking the crosswalk for good measure. Top-tier role modeling. #MSPCyclecast

This evening, a resident was kidnapped by agents with face coverings. They disguised themselves in masks and as Uber drivers. They even left kids abandoned inside a car in the freezing cold. 1/

Today was the hardest day of my life. We fought for nearly a decade to bring secure bike parking to NYC and ultimately were completely excluded from the @nyc-dot.bsky.social process for citywide system. To those who believed in us and our vision, I am so sorry. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/12/01/a...

Bryant north of Lake St? A snowy disaster. Hennepin Ave S bikeway? Clear and smooth. Lyndale Ave bridge + bikeway through Hennepin/Lyndale + Loring Park? Mostly cleared this morning, with a little bit of snow left behind. #MSPCyclecast

Xmas tree acquired!

Snow removal on the bridge over Lyndale and along the corridor was non existent this afternoon trying to get to downtown. #MSPcyclecast

If you claim you aren’t going to work with ICE, mind your damn business when they come to town. It seems when ICE wants protection from the people of St. Paul, the police are willing to take the call but when the people of St. Paul need protection from ICE, they can’t be bothered

Not even pedestrian crossing blinkers are safe. Griggs & Concordia, #SaintPaul

Shopping for a cargo bike? I’m selling my Bunch (front loader) and Yuba Kombi E5 (long tail). $1100 each, comes with lotsa accessories ✨ ❄️🚴‍♀️ Minneapolis / St. Paul area

Rode Hennepin into downtown this morning. There was some crunchy ice, a few rough spots, some annoying gusts of wind, but active clearing and studded tires made it rideable. #MSPcyclecast

Photos from St. Paul today captured by MPR photojournalist Kerem Yücel. He filed them even after being hospitalized after being injured by a less lethal munition.

Let’s goooooo! ❄️ If you’re out tomorrow and want to share any ride reports (conditions of streets, bikelanes and/or sidewalks) to help others, please remember to use #MSPcyclecast

I had to replace 9 studs, but I’ve got the winter tires on and new break pads installed! Bring it on winter!

Peak Minneapolis

When the right tool for the job meets the obsolete one.

If it’s cold out, there should be a blanket of snow on the ground.

Time to get out the shovel collection

Since our first snowstorm is coming I should probably get the studded tires on. ❄️🚲

"Many well-studied changes show that thoughtful street design is key to reversing course. Narrower lanes that slow traffic, adding curb extensions to increase pedestrian access & visibility, & physically separating bike lanes from car traffic are a few examples." www.startribune.com/mn-car-accid...

A reminder that cars aren’t a technology problem. They’re a geometry problem.

Seems like a great time for @minneapolismn.gov to invest in affordable bike share & cargo bike libraries like @mplscargobikelibrary.com ! Just sayin’.

they will also have to navigate mysteriously flying slices of american cheddar covering their sensors

Got my Holidays on Hennepin Passport. Love that they’re acknowledging all the ways people get around — walking, biking, rolling, transit, and driving. That’s the new Hennepin.

Drivers: "Speeding 10mph over the speed limit is ok as long as I'm doing it at 11pm and I'm not targeting pedestrians" Also drivers: runs over the stop sign at my kids’ bus stop.

Appearing on the @copenhagenizers.bsky.social Index is an important milestone for Minneapolis! We've come a very long way *AND* we've got a lot more work to do. The good news is that steadily we're making it happen. Culture and infrastructure don't happen overnight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOYM...
