The following is a guest blog post by local bike attorney Dan Brazil of Brazil Law Group. Brazil Law Group is a sponsor of Our Streets Minneapolis.

There’s a light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel. As vaccines begin rolling out across the country, we can start to see the initial signs of life returning to normal. Although this is a welcome change, many of us will choose to reenter the world with ease and caution. I think biking is a great way to do just that.

Lyndale Ave S from Franklin Ave to 31st St is one of the most dangerous stretches for people biking, walking, rolling, and driving in Minneapolis. And it’s like that by design. 

Lyndale Ave S is currently a four lane undivided street. This means that this part of Lyndale Ave S has two car lanes in each direction without a median between them. This configuration is known to cause higher rates of traffic crashes.

Our Streets Minneapolis is hiring for two separate positions:

Advocacy Coordinator

Communications Coordinator

For both positions, we seek candidates who are passionate about our work to create a city where biking, walking, and rolling are easy and comfortable for everyone.
