This free event is a fantastic way to experience artists\, musicians\, and local businesses from the neighborhood and imagine a better future together. \n\n\n\nFree Food\, Live Music\, Art\, & More\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nWhen the Minnesota Highway Commission (now the Minnesota Department of Transportation or MnDOT) routed and constructed Olson Memorial Highway over historic 6th Avenue North in the late 1930s and 1940s\, it destroyed a vibrant Black and Jewish community corridor\, often called the “Beale Street of Minneapolis.” Homes\, businesses\, jazz clubs\, synagogues\, churches\, and community centers were demolished to make way for the highway. \n\n\n\nNow\, Our Streets has partnered with Harrison Neighborhood Association\, Heritage Park Neighborhood Association\, and other Northside partners to advocate for a restored 6th Avenue North. \n\n\n\nAt the Imagine 6th Avenue North event\, community members will have the opportunity to learn more about the possibility of a highway-to-boulevard conversion\, share their ideas for the future\, and imagine what their neighborhood could be like without the highway. \n\n\n\nThe event includes musical performances from Northside artists including Traiveon\, Casual Confusion\, and Se’anna. Community members will have the opportunity to contribute to a community quilt with Million Artist Movement and leave a message on the “Imagine Dream Phone” and share their ideas for the future. Attendees will be offered free food and can shop at the pop-up market with The Dream Shop featuring more than 20 Northside artists and makers. Kids will be able to get their faces painted and play in a bouncy house. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Highlight: Million Artist Movement Community Quilt-Making\n\n\n\nJoin Million Artist Movement in utilizing the power of art to collaborate as a community!

Discuss key findings from a new report at this free community presentation by Union Park District Council Transportation Committee. Seating is limited\, please reserve your spot on the Eventbrite page. \n\n\n\nReserve your free spot\n\n\n\nA 7.5 mile section of I-94 between downtown Saint Paul and downtown Minneapolis has reached the end of its structural life. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is conducting a multiyear effort to decide what comes next. Among 10 current alternatives are proposals for an at-grade boulevard. \n\n\n\nCities around the world are successfully replacing highways with boulevards. This presentation will take a deeper look at a local highway-to-boulevard conversion\, focusing on the findings in a new report that features surprising information on who uses the highway today\, shows what a boulevard might look like in specific neighborhoods\, reveals where current highway traffic would go\, and calculates how much land a boulevard would unearth for new jobs\, housing\, economic development and green space in our neighborhoods.
