YOUR advocacy is working! "..., we have heard feedback regarding how we can: better separate people walking, rolling and biking; provide a transit advantage; and preserve parking and trees." Read Hennepin County's update on the Lyndale Reconstruction project: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MNH...

Every day, the design of Olson Memorial Highway puts people at risk. Changes are long overdue, and watered-down improvements are unacceptable. Attend one of these events (or both) and share with MnDOT why you’re in support of reconnecting Olson. Get the deets ↴ www.ourstreetsmn.org/event/mndot-...

"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...

I was happy to join over a hundred people biked, took transit, walked or drove to help @ourstreetsmn.org deliver a petition to demand that MNDOT consider a true alternative to the nightmare that is I-94

Wow. Huge turnout. Thank you 🙏

"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...

@mndot.mn.gov is removing the at-grade options before they do dynamic traffic modeling. @blindeke.bsky.social www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

"It looks like the rationale for not including the at-grade options is they are bad for 'mobility', which seems to be narrowly defined as mobility for drivers." @nerd4cities.bsky.social youtu.be/NgJ998KHBpc?...

Why are we rallying tonight? Here’s a reminder: www.ourstreetsmn.org/2025/01/02/m... @mndot.mn.gov
