The thing here is - people will die, or have life-altering crashes here over the next 20 years. Kicking the can down the road when you could just paint new lanes on the road will have direct, human costs and end or change lives for forever.

I bike this direction a few times a week and I go out of my way to avoid Hamline. It’s rough going and dangerous, and it’s low-key compared to Snelling et al. The city is making a mistake not converting 4-to-3.

Despite the surging number of deaths of people walking and riding, St Paul Public Works continues its deeply unserious approach to traffic safety. Really bad situation here, both from a safety and listening to the community perspective. US traffic engineers are professionally bankrupt.

The most dangerous part of this heat wave is that there's no overnight respite. Watch out for your neighbors in this weather.

Bird for your skyline ⛅️

MNDOT is scoping a project on Snelling and on Montreal. You can make the world a better place bh telling them how hard it is to cross Snelling as a pedestrian, and tell them not to build a sliplane at Montreal and Snelling

Can we get vegetable misters like at the grocery store, but at bus shelters? 🥵 💦

The bus ghosted me so I’m going to walk the 10 minutes I was trying to avoid with a transfer…is this cardio? 🥵

People have a lot of negative thoughts about Highland Bridge but so far they’ve built senior housing + memory care, a walkable grocery store, a medical clinic with urgent care, supportive housing, heavily-used park spaces, walking/bike paths, and a new daycare. IMO they are killing it over there.

Metro Transit is celebrating Pride Month with a new Pride bus designed by local artist Alexis Politz, featuring the Twin Cities! See it in the Pride Parade June 28 at 11 a.m. and visit booth #370/371 in Loring Park June 27–28 for a chance to win this limited-edition Go-To Card. #TCRideWithPride

The city of Roseville completely closed the main road to my small business with four days notice and our sales are down 50%. Please support small local businesses even when it requires figuring out a re-route. Support @makwacoffee.bsky.social if you’re nearby. Pleeeeeeeeeeease.

This is a devastating, senseless loss. Saint Paul is on pace for more pedestrian deaths this year than last. There’s so much our city must continue to do to prevent this—better street design, more enforcement, more investments in bike lanes and public transit. www.twincities.com/2026/06/24/s...

RE the upcoming Blue Line shutdown: the replacement northbound bus stops for 50th, 46th, 38th, are now EAST of Hwy 55 E.g. Google Maps recommends the preferred A Line transfer/walk to northbound Blue Bus is at 46th/Minnehaha Check your Blue bus stop maps here: www.metrotransit.org/closure

Good advice. Honestly a cooling vest is pretty brilliant - thinking about sewing one with pockets to fit the small lunchbox ice packs I already have!

#BikeSky: I need new rain pants. They need to be available in a long inseam (33"), available for purchase in Canada, and not get caught in my drivetrain. Bonus points for any colour other than black. Does anyone have recommendations for me?

Orange Line gets you south fast. Normally not in a rush so not much experience with the crosstown routes but Orange to B is good.

What if we turn our collective stress about the Blue Line/Green Line shutdown into brainstorming creative alternate routings for each other? I’m usually A southbound to Blue northbound to get downtown, and I I’m weighing - A Line to 94 - 87 to 63 to E Line 😆 - A Line to 7 What have I missed?

Yes, still looking for caps from different transit agencies! 😀🧢🚌🚇🚈

🚨Plan extra time or alternate routings! 🚨 Buses replace trains on Blue Line from 6/29 - 8/19, buses replace trains on Green Line in downtown Mpls from 7/1 - 7/26 and 8/16 - 8/19. ALSO note the Blue Line bus will stop at West Bank Green Line station www.metrotransit.org/closure

Rachel does so much to help others, and now she needs help too. I really can’t overstate how much she has done to keep our neighbors in MN housed. Let’s get her back!

Zero Occupancy Vehicles 🤡

Sweet gods of asphalt, the freshly repaved Selby is a delight

Husband: we stopped home quick just to pick up Tupperware Me: oh, you’re going to Nelson’s. Take real spoons too. (It’s officially summer 🍨)

He was found safe!!

If Minneapolis were Montreal or Paris, Lyndale would be a prime candidate for pedestrianization.

Free idea: a fabric store that is open from 6 to 10 pm. The main thing stopping me from buying more fabric is having to go to work 😂

And Rep. Angie Craig (MN) abstained. A proud and self-centered LGB without the T, it seems. My disgust in her knows few bounds, for this non-vote, and for Laken Riley. @angiecraigmn.bsky.social puts her own career before Minnesota values. Her political ambitions must be challenged and halted.

PROTECT TRANS KIDS

Psst. Do you use tenbluelinks.org? It won't get you the interesting stuff that no longer exists back, but god it makes looking for it so much better.

Please take action 👇

I love this for us 🚌 🚌 🚌

Ford Bridge closed to buses again tomorrow, Saturday, May 16th. A shuttle will run from the Blue Line's 46th St station to Ford & Kenneth

If you didn’t already have enough reasons to bus/bike to Art-A-Whirl, 94 and 280 will be closed this weekend. Grab your free bus pass at this link!

Rent relief passes! Today, the Senate passed identical language as the House meaning the $40 million rent relief package is headed to the Governor desk for his signature. Thanks for helping get this done through your continued advocacy. $40M for rent relief passed!

In case it needed to be said: Trans people are just that - people. I stand by my trans brothers and sisters. If you want to get to them, you'll need to go through me. Trans rights now, trans rights forever.

I’m sorry, I had to 🙈

If you’re headed to @nacto.bsky.social tomorrow, perhaps this is something you want to ask @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social on after his opening remarks.

Megavouching or appropriate equivalent for Shannon and her sister. Surely someone has a good lead. Let's gooooo.

And frequent, reliable transit so they don’t have to spend so much of their time chauffeuring kids around!

Spring in Minnesota is about as pretty as it gets. So grateful to live across the street from this

If you’re trying to ride the B Line or 72 between Snelling and Dale, it’s still on Selby today. Go to your normal stop. Detour starts 5/11, but the Transit app and Google Maps show it on Marshall today - ignore that!

Can we stop limiting higher-density (mixed use) housing to just the worst possible stroads? Please and thank you.

Call your state rep & senator. Save HCMC!!! There is movement toward a sustaining tax but nothing is guaranteed.

Boosting this again for Minnesotans

Also Routes 74 and 38! 🚌

this feels important right now. it always is, but i know I am feeling it more right now

If you ride A Line, you’ll want to read this Saturday’s rider alert/detour, it’s a weird one (spoiler: the A Line isn’t going to Mpls) www.metrotransit.org/route/aline
