- Well done, Minneapolis. I live 2.5 blocks from I-94. I am excited for the potential to truly rethink this freeway and build something for a new era.The Minneapolis City Council says MnDOT plans to reconstruct I-94 between the Twin Cities’ downtowns can’t include expanding the interstate, and should consider removing it. sahanjournal.com/news/minneapol…
- Not much shocks me anymore as an elected official, but the allegations by tonight’s audience that residents making under 30% AMI at this converted hotel affordable housing project were rapists and criminals was truly horrific.Two Hennepin County affordable housing projects involving former hotels, on tomorrow's Planning Commission agenda. One in downtown, the other in Marcy Holmes. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Board/Agenda/C…
- Yes! Let’s pass the People over Parking Act, MN and end minimum parking mandates!
- A reminder to stop for pedestrians at all intersections, whether marked crosswalks exist or not.
- Minneapolis ice rinks open December 17, weather permitting!!!!
- I believe we should be putting this on our Minneapolis Park Board 2024 legislative agenda. Just today I witnessed several vehicles >3,500 lbs on West River Pkwy! This issue is absolutely a park issue.Colorado is considering a weight-base car fee to address car bloat: 🔹 Fee would would apply to cars >3,500 lbs, up to $29.90/yr 🔹 $$ collected would fund bike lanes, road diets, automatic cameras, etc 🔹 Only collected in the 12 most populous counties cpr.org/2023/09/29/col…
- Replying to @BeckyForParksD3And real talk. CM Rainville’s motion to continue this project was a vote to delay desperately needed affordable housing by deserving members of our society.
- So. much. money. My back of the napkin math says that is $400 from every Minneapolis resident.
- Replying to @BeckyForParksD3Part of what makes me so upset is that we have a housing crisis. Eviction filings are WAY up. Stop blocking getting people housed. m.startribune.com/wait-time-for-…
- It’s time to end this strike and get our valued workers back to work. @OlsenForParks
- The current Mall master plan centers green space and recreation, two important elements of our Park Board vision for Minneapolis. The Abene-Shaffer resolution glorifies parking over parks. I look forward to voting no at the next full board meeting.Two commissioners on the Minneapolis Park Board, Shaffer & Abene, have introduced a resolution to "pause decision-making" on a plan to turn some of Uptown's the Mall (25 parking spots) into green space when sewer work is completed this year and next. agendasuite.org/iip/mprb/file/…
- Yes yes yes! Minneapolis, can we please get this? The road will be hard but current strategies are not reaching all people and shuffling around encampments does not help anyone, housed or unhoused.Denver creates Sanctioned Encampments for people experiencing unsheltered homeless. Program works so they extended it. Temporary Managed Communities: tent encampments; safe places to park for people living in cars, vans and campers; tiny home villages. denvergov.org/Government/Age…
- Spectacular sunrise for my bus ride to the MN Capitol in honor of #TransitEquityDay
