"The final plan, which appeared seemingly out of the blue, offers the bare minimum for bike and scooter accessibility while, at least for now, not devoting any dedicated space for transit."

Our policy manager, Joe Harrington, spoke at @yimbytown.bsky.social about the intersection of transportation and housing today, specifically regarding highway removal and the land use opportunities it offers. The room was packed! #YIMBYtown

[Car dependency and poor street design] "is a known problem, and has known solutions. And if we took it on systemically, the benefits would be massive." - @lauragmitchell.com, our board president, interviewed by @caitjgibson.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

⛈️ We can’t catch a break! First poor air quality and now severe weather. We’ve been checking the radar and it’s looking like it’ll downpour with a chance of thunder and lightning. To keep everyone safe, we’ve decided to cancel Imagine Harrison. We’re so bummed to not be out with you all today! 💔

How Driving Less Benefits Us: https://streets.mn/2025/07/29/how-driving-less-benefits-us/ Driving less provides personal benefits and societal ones. Less rushing means a more involved day-to-day.

The Strib is looking for stories of nightmare commutes due to construction. People who don’t drive for your commute, please also share your experiences & thoughts on this topic (via the form). 😁

As a reminder, we have nothing to do with these diluted Open Streets events. That doesn't mean we aren't working to organize them in the future. Here's what our maps looked like: www.ourstreetsmn.org/wp-content/u...

Minneapolis now ranks 2nd worst in the world for air quality. Unhealthy smoke from massive Canadian wildfires choke our skies and spoil our precious summer months. But we have to do our part.

We need your help in continuing to put pressure on decision-makers to restore the boulevard options for the Rethinking I-94 project. @governorwalz.mn.gov has a say over which project options will move forward. mn.gov/governor/con...

What’s the best way to spend $1 billion for transportation? Our latest report shows the positive impacts of every $1 billion shifted from highways to transit and identifies key policy levers to shift transportation investments away from highway spending. climateandcommunity.org/research/let...

Update: the location has been changed to Ginkgo Coffeehouse (721 Snelling Ave N, St. Paul, MN 55104)

Take Action: Don’t let MnDOT remove the boulevard.

Traffic cameras may issue fewer tickets—but they still tell the wrong story when our streets remain designed for speed, not safety. Let’s stop using fear and speak the language of prevention. Not enforcement. Street design is safety. Surveillance is not.

Volunteer with us on this Saturday, July 19th at 10:30AM-1PM. We'll be doorknocking together in Saint Paul asking residents to take action and sign the community letter to save Twin Cities Boulevard! www.ourstreetsmn.org/event/volunt...

"The fact that there's this very obvious disconnect between what we say our goals are and where the regional model says we're headed is extremely problematic and leads to all kinds of bad investments." [email protected] youtu.be/NgJ998KHBpc?...

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

Due to the current air quality index and expected forecast, Our Streets is postponing Imagine Heritage Park. While we are disappointed we can’t celebrate today, the health and safety of our community is our highest priority. A new date will be announced at a later time.

The Racket Action Weather Desk is forecasting: a nice one!

"Eventually, we want to decommission roadways. Over time, people will drive shorter distances at lower speeds, which are safer. As things shift, you’ll have more people in cities, and more transit proposals that look good." @mndot.mn.gov www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

We still need volunteers for this Saturday! It's a fun way to support our work. Can you commit to a shift?

Community members and organizations like @ourstreetsmn.org have advocated for this program for years as part of an expanding conversation about what it means to have safe streets for everyone. Thanks to the initial success of the pilot, the City is one step closer to realizing that vision.

A difficult Minnesota Legislative Session ended with transit cuts. But through collaboration with legislative leaders, community, and partner organizations, we defended past progress and established the foundation for future policy wins. www.ourstreetsmn.org/2025/06/11/f...
