"The big question should not be how to preserve a highway while making its harms more tolerable. The big question should be what becomes possible when we stop treating those harms as permanent." @yeswaydrjose.bsky.social for @startribune.com 🎁🔗: www.startribune.com/rethinking-i...

Opinion | As Minnesota chokes on smoke, it’s time to reconsider urban highways

When we discuss the future of Interstate 94 and other urban highways, the public conversation often collapses into one anxious question: How will I get from one place to another? I want us to think bi...

Oh, we are so back. Poet Toi Derricotte reminds us the act of joy in times of oppression is essential to our collective resistance. We can’t wait for you to join us for our car-free celebration, where we’ll experience streets as places to explore, play, and dream. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhD7...

Rent is due and families are being pushed to the brink. In the midst of everything happening right now, immigrant community members are struggling to make ends meet, and the neighbors and organizers stepping in to support them are stretching beyond capacity.

We are going to win.

Hennepin County’s proposed layout for Lyndale Avenue S. falls short. It’s not a people-first design. It’s a decorated, street-level parking lot, dusted with the occasional confetti of mode shift virtue signals. No protected bikeways, 24/7 bus lanes, or green space throughout the entire corridor.

Ice Cream Shop coming right across from Hampden Park?!?!? Have seen people working on this building all summer, have been curious what was going on. Very excited to have this in the neighborhood

Underrated part of Gold and B Line openings is how easy it is to get around downtown St. Paul now. Walk from my office to Lost Fox is a little long to squeeze into the workday(30 min round trip), but can usually make it 15 min by hopping on whichever of the B/Green/Gold Line is arriving next.

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

The Hampden Park soups are so good that I couldn’t help getting a bowl when I stopped in, even though it’s 95 degrees outside

Our approach to climate change summed up in one photo from @mprnews.org . 🫠

After a 20 min delay, just watched my bus get caught at the light a block away for two cycles by cars blocking the lane. Good amount of the traffic were giant pickup trucks seemingly on their way to the Post Malone show. Felt like a simulation meant to piss me off as much as possible.

No matter where life takes me, find me with a smile 💛

This is for you, Malcolm. 🕊️

Biked to rec league hoops again tonight, once again asked “Do you want a ride home?” I know you’re being nice, but good luck taking this away from me

“We need *balanced* roadways designs” says the Uptown Association, in a city with 1,000 miles of streets & just 20 miles of protected bikelanes. Balance, to them, is forced car dependency & ensuring we all face the increased safety, health, economic & climate risks that entails. 1/4

Uptown Association is rallying opposition to including a bike lane as part of the 2027 Lyndale Avenue reconstruction.

Coworker messaged me today asking where I park my bike at our office, second coworker to do that in the last year or so. The first started bike commuting last summer and loved it. Lesson: bring your bike helmet into every place you bike, it might just plant a seed in someone’s head

Whoever on here posted about the Afro Deli Somali steak sandwich, you’re the best, hope you have a great day. What a sandwich
