More than just a fun block party, the Imagine Frogtown & Rondo event was also a successful community outreach opportunity to uplift the Twin Cities Boulevard campaign. We’ve found no consensus around a land bridge over a rebuilt highway.
As part of the safety inspection, the NUMO and WRI team walked the Olson Memorial Highway corridor with Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) staff and community members present to identify areas of concern.
The event is hosted by Our Streets, a transportation advocacy organization that previously organized Open Streets Minneapolis. Billed as “more than just a block party,” the event aims to gain community input on neighborhood transportation issues.
The open letter outlines the harmful history of the highway and the original routing of the METRO Blue Line Light Rail Extension, which was originally routed on Olson Memorial Highway.
Most of us are enjoying the limited summer weather we get here, but—apologies for the dated Game of Thrones reference—winter is coming. So, what can we expect for sidewalk snow removal?
We hosted a community forum at Mixed Blood yesterday to share Reimagining I-94 report findings and project demands as well as offer the opportunity for community testimony.
Last month, many Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) members for the Rethinking I-94 project signed a letter outlining demands in response to the highly publicized Reimagining I-94 report.
Despite the concerns raised, MnDOT responded yesterday in an incredibly disappointing letter saying they are not committing to any of the demands.
We are excited to announce a new coalition tasked with co-creating a positive, community-centered vision for a future without urban highways in the state of Minnesota.
We invite you to join us in generosity and community support as we kick off our summer giving campaign. We have many exciting events and progress toward more equitable transportation in the Twin Cities, but we need your help!
The 2024 Minnesota State Legislative Session ended. We made progress in all of our legislative priorities this year and will continue to advocate for legislation that did not move forward in 2025.
