Come out Tuesday to show support for solutions for car-free living! The funding needed is a drop in the bucket, but we NEED to show our elected that we want to see their climate/equity goals backed by real dollars. I’m also privileged to be speaking at this event. ❤️ Hope to see you there!!

Having grown up in a country that had truth commissions uncover horrific atrocities done by secret police, we are absolutely going to have a reckoning before this is all said and done.

I’m proud to say I joined the East Bde Maka Ska Neighborhood Board tonight. Thank you to my neighbors who came out to support EBMS and for your trust. I look forward to pouring my love for Uptown and our community towards making it a more livable, vibrant place for people who call it home. ❤️

Please consider taking action and spreading the word! Let’s save a program that is extremely cost-effective, instrumental in meeting our climate and equity goals, and critical for people who can’t afford to drive. savecarsharemn.org

Keep carshare in our neighborhoods
Call and write your officials, then join the rally for carshare.

Having Evie and HourCar available helped us feel more confident in our decision to go down from 2 to 1 car in 2021. Losing HourCar and Evie will likely negatively impact other households looking to do the same. We need *more* public investment in resources like this, transit and bike share.

If you need a reservation-based car-alternative, check out @mcbl.bike when we’re in season. It will not meet all the needs that Hourcar did, especially in the winter, but it may help fill the gaps Too.

This is devastating for car-free living in mpls. I’ve used Hourcar/Evie car share to fill the gaps at least once a year where biking/using public transit didn’t make sense. Carshare just makes sense. Allowing the service to sunset doesn’t make sense for meeting our climate and equity goals.

Minneapolis resident here, why on earth would i take a Waymo?? Also, dont forget jacob frey vetoed 24/7 bus lanes, MPLS rideshare minimum wage for uber & lyft, & now has vetoed driverless ride-share ordinance He is anti-democratic, anti-worker, anti-safety & anti-climate

I want to sometimes, but most people don’t get a solid education about bikeways and e-bikes in drivers’ ed. Add onto that a lack of signage and enforcement, and I find that most people are really surprised that they’re breaking the rules. Not saying assholes don’t exist, of course.

Requiring human monitoring of underbaked, unproven technology is a simple and common sense regulation. These vehicles don't even have a way to clear their own sensors yet. These vehicles are programmed to park in bike and bus lanes. "a driver in a driverless car" is a bad faith argument.

The majority of Minnesotans ride bikes. The majority of Minnesotans also say they'd bike more if there was better and safer infrastructure to do so. @mndot.mn.gov's update to the Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan is good, but does it go far enough? Read our summary ⤵️⤵️⤵️ www.bikemn.org/mndots-draft...

MnDOT’s Draft of the Statewide Bicycle+ System Plan is a Big Update - Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota
It's a huge improvement over the last version. But does it fall short of the clear public desire to make biking, walking, and rolling safer in Minnesota?

My partner caught the exact moment an e-moto sped past me going 25 mph on a bike/ped only path. I think my face screams “I hope better regulations and classifications balance people’s need for micro mobility and safety for all users of bike infrastructure” 🫠

It’s a premonition. It’s 2030. I35 has been demolished. There are free city bike docks on every corner. MCBL training is mandatory for all residents. Only a matter of time until Bike God Mayor Laura Mitchell decrees Lake Street closed to car traffic. So say we all.

Driving a car for errands is so stressful. Biking (on protected infrastructure) is not. More Americans should have the ability to decide how to complete each trip w/o car dependency forced on them. 🚲 ❤️

Worth remembering that running a community-based cargo lending program for improving mobility and enabling car-free living is cool and all… but the real magic is the bike play dates we had along the way. 🌈

I feel liberated instead of being chained to car because of where I live and the community built around choosing safe, sustainable, affordable transportation. ❤️ If you're asking "how/when do I get around without a car?", that could be an infrastructure failure OR an educational opportunity.

Araceli “Jules” Casasola @acolibri.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
I think car-dependency has narrowed folks' imagination for getting around. Car-free gives you more options, not less. I bike most places, but will walk, use public transit, carpool with a friend, even use carshare (Evie), or go galaxy-brain multi-modal when I need to. But that's the thing...

If people saw last night's graphic that showed $28 for MPRB, $8 for MPHA, and $223 for MPD out of every $1000 in the city budget, they'd understand the rage expressed last night. We are putting a fraction of city dollars towards actually addressing crime and practically setting the rest on fire.

Difference between what Mayor Frey has proposed and Park Board's ask is $14/year, says MPRB superintendent Al Bangoura. "Our responsibility does not end when the ribbon is cut." They have to maintain and program. Mayor's budget would mean significant service reduction.
