👏 for @jchavezmpls.bsky.social regarding the 'options' that Waymo offers: "Options? Let's have a 24/7 bus lane on Hennepin, build bus lanes. Let's get more bike lanes, more traffic calming. It doesn't feel fair to talk about options when those same options are being vetoed, rejected, voted down."

It’s an N+1 New Bike Day - loving the convenience of folding up a bike to carry onto transit. The ease & possibilities are huge and enabling.

With Minneapolis and St Paul facing huge budget shortfalls, it would make a lot of sense to ramp up speed and red light camera enforcement to fill some of that gap. Improve safety and avoid some budget cuts in one go.

Very worthy read from @yeswaydrjose.bsky.social: “A cap leaves the highway, its emissions, its noise and its political permanence in place. These projects risk becoming what I call memorialized injustice: structures that acknowledge the wound while preserving the instrument that made it.”

Must-read coverage of police overspending. MPD already gets one-third of our general fund; overspending beyond that is unacceptable. I am glad to see city leaders united in concern about these overages and will do my part to ensure an accountable budget. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Minneapolis police overtime is dragging down the entire city budget

The city’s rainy day fund is drying up as it spends more and collects less money.

It’s a Doors Open Minneapolis 🧵! Highpoint Center for Printmaking on Lake was awesome, and Heart of the Beast on Hennepin featured impressive puppets, costumes and masks including many spotted in the Mayday Parade - definitely visit these two.

When the design for the music venue at the Upper Harbor Terminal retained the heavyweight industrial structures, we gained a great outdoor space and potentially a tremendous new canvas for paint expression…

I've loved this week in Ciudad de México - perfect weather and Metrobús made it so easy to get around. Protected ciclovias show how wildly popular the ecobici bike share program is too. Tomorrow though, I'm excited to experience a car-free Paseo de la Reforma for those who walk, roll, and ride!

I certainly share questions about the effectiveness of a shared use path on that part of Lyndale given high ped/bike demand. (Note that I’m not involved directly with the Lyndale Ave project & I only recently saw the latest proposal)

Petrified Forest National Park rocks. How did the trees in this enormous log jam crystallize into quartz? Volcanoes covered this area in silica-rich ash from Earth’s mantle over 200M years ago. The colors beyond white that make up this rainbow are from impurities like iron. 🌈

Older guy riding his bike in the skinny buffer on Lyndale. Hennepin County needs to include an actual bike lane when they reconstruct the street. Lyndale is going to be a bike route whether they think it should be or not. The question is how dangerous they want it to be.

Day 1 at Pinnacles National Park, this place genuinely throbs with life from mobs of condors and turkey vultures in the sky to bird song, blooming flowers and lizards everywhere. The talus caves caused by fallen boulders are fun and dark to explore.
