Since HOURCAR and Evie has shut their services, the City of Saint Paul and Mayor Kaohly Her announced a firm commitment to save these carshare services in the Twin Cities. The City and Mayor Her plan to increase their financial commitment to $300,000 to support the service, and are leading efforts to find a bridge operator for the program.

The Twin Cities Transportation Academy will be returning for a third year next spring.

This year, there will be five academies to choose from and participate in with each focusing on one of Our Streets’ three campaigns: Bring Back 6th, Twin Cities Boulevard, and Save the Brooklyns.

Our Streets strongly supports this critical transportation service. We are working alongside elected officials, former carshare staff, and community members to save carshare in the Twin Cities, make it sustainable long-term, and expand other shared mobility options like bike share.

Our Streets is hosting Imagine 6th Avenue North this fall in Near North Minneapolis as part of the campaign to “Bring Back 6th.” The transportation advocacy organization started this event series in 2021 to gather community input on Olson Memorial Highway while celebrating the neighborhood with live music, a small business market, art, and other…

Attendees can get a glimpse of streets as public spaces and the vibrancy of pedestrian-friendly boulevards at the free, family-friendly event.

MnDOT’s response to the dozen of elected officials who’ve asked for a pause on the Rethinking I-94 and Highway 252/I-94 projects acknowledges the harms that communities and advocates have been raising. However, their response is flawed in numerous ways. We don’t need another promise that displacement, health, climate, connectivity, and equity will be considered later. We must pause the Rethinking I-94 and 252/I-94 projects and restore community preferred alternatives, so communities have a real chance to shape the outcomes of these projects.

After three years, MnDOT will begin a pilot project this fall to incorporate Aesthetic Surface Treatments (ASTs) into the public right of way for the very first time.
