This Saturday, September 12th is the day we planned to hold Open Streets West Broadway. Unfortunately, the event will not happen this year 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 West Broadway this year, we can still support those local businesses and community organizations that help make Open Streets West Broadway so fun and unique.

We’re excited to introduce a new wayfinding and story sharing project: Healthy Trips, Healthy City! A partnership with the City of Minneapolis, the Healthy Trips, Healthy City project has three goals: 

1. Connect people biking, walking and rolling to essential local businesses like grocery stores, restaurants, hardware stores, and pharmacies
2. Encourage/inspire people to make essential trips in a healthy, sustainable way
3. Celebrate people biking, walking, and rolling for their essential trips

Our Streets Minneapolis distributed a questionnaire to candidates running to fill the vacant Minneapolis City Council Ward 6 seat in the upcoming special election on August 11th.  The candidate questionnaire contained questions related to our mission and advocacy goals.

We accessed candidate contact information on July 21st from the City of Minneapolis Candidate Filing 2020 website. An Our Streets Minneapolis staff member sent all declared candidates the questionnaire via email. We asked candidates to limit their response to each question to 150 words.
