About Our Streets Minneapolis

Mission

Biking, walking, and rolling are easy and joyful for people of all backgrounds and identities in all parts of Minneapolis;
Streets and trails are vibrant community spaces with people walking and biking year-round and at all times;
Kids and families feel safe and comfortable walking and biking to neighborhood schools, parks, and businesses;
Older adults and people with mobility challenges are healthy, independent, and connected with their communities through streets and sidewalks designed for them; and
Abundant biking and walking contributes to happy people, a healthy environment, and a strong economy.

Our work is volunteer driven and community supported;
We use a community organizing approach to set and act on our local advocacy priorities to make streets places that put people first;
We depend on the passion and skills of hundreds of volunteers to make our work happen each year from our Board of Directors to the folks who volunteer at our Open Streets Minneapolis events.
As part of centering people in our work, we apply an equity lens to everything we do. Learn more about how we do that by reading our Equity Statement.
