If that driver was very confused and lost, that person probably shouldn't be driving _at all_.
Holy shit. Friend of a friend encountered a driver on Sabo Bridge today.
Driver apparently seemed very confused and lost.
Howwww did they get past the concrete barricades on both ends?
(For non Mpls folks: this bridge is bike/ped only & paths up are narrow w/ bollards on both ends.)

I don’t have a short, simple explanation for what’s kept me here far, far longer than I expected. I just have about a zillion moments like this.

Just another reminder that people will gladly bike places when there are safe routes to get there and car-dependency isn't the only option provided.
So the State Fairgrounds markedly increased the size of the Como bike lot this year.
It’s still not big enough.

It's possible to hide racism in plain sight, something that @mndot.mn.gov promised they would never do again. But here we are. Look behind the pretty language. Learn, listen, fight.
Last week, we knocked 209 doors along the corridor of Highway 252. We let residents know about the proposed expansion project and the decision-makers they can contact to Save the Brooklyns.

i am legitimately so sad about this. the fair not only gave the big pepper, one of its more iconic-looking booths, the boot, they MADE THEM HIRE SOMEONE TO DEMOLISH THE BUILDING.

They even had to hire someone to demolish the Pepper, which was a permanent structure on the fairgrounds until this year.
