Over the past year we’ve joined together with local residents and groups like Safe Streets Save Lives to call for change on Lyndale Ave S. Today we are renewing this call & we urge you to join us.

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. 

I’ve lived in Uptown Minneapolis ever since I finished law school. One of the reasons I chose to live in Uptown was the proximity to the Chain of Lakes, bike trails and jogging paths. Plus, I’m close to the stores, restaurants and essential services I rely on for my day-to-day needs.

I enjoy being able to walk places, bike to work, and get around on public transportation. That’s why I’m super stoked about Our Streets’ new project: Healthy Trips, Healthy City

We had planned for Open Streets Minnehaha to occur in October this year. Unfortunately, the event will not happen due to risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. You can learn more about how we came to this decision here. 

Open Streets Minneapolis events do more than close streets to cars. Each event connects people to local businesses, community resources, and each other. While we are unable to come together to celebrate Open Streets Minnehaha this year, we can still support those local businesses and community organizations that help make Open Streets Minnehaha so fun and unique.

Check out the list below to learn just a few ways you can support Minnehaha Ave any day of the year. Have another suggestion? Let us know on social media or in the comments!
