Take a Survey on a Proposed University Avenue Protected Bikeway
|
|
|
|
The Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition is collecting survey responses over the issue of a potential protected bikeway along University Avenue SE. Under consideration are a 1- or 2-way protected bikeway along University, or having a pair of 1-way protected bikeways on 4th Street SE and University Avenue SE. To fill out the survey, and to see images illustrating the options, please visit HERE.

Temporary Bollards Installed on 2nd Street SE
|
|
|
|
Working over a couple years with Council member Jacob Frey's office, the Transportation Committee supported a creative approach to traffic calming and pedestrian accessibility at 2nd St SE and 3rd Ave SE. The bollard refuge islands could be quickly deployed at low cost, giving neighbors the opportunity to almost instantly feel a difference when traversing a street with sometimes fast traffic on the way to and from the river. If you want to help bring more of these projects to the neighborhood, join us at the next Transportation Committee meeting!
