Protected bike lanes on Hennepin & 1st NE?
The Hennepin Ave bridge now has buffered bike lanes. And those may connect soon to protected bike lanes on Hennepin and 1st Ave NE across the river from Downtown too!
A new Hennepin/1st Avenue Transportation Study includes 6 options--all with protected bike lanes. We hope to see them as soon as next year. If you are interested in learning more, we'll be discussing at our Downtown Bikeways meeting Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 6pm at our office.

Orange Line BRT stays on track
The Orange Line bus rapid transit line is planned to run on 35W from Minneapolis to Burnsville. It includes a tremendous new station at Lake Street with a direct bicycle/walking connection to the Midtown Greenway (the picture here). Funding was threatened for the Orange Line, but after local officials and stakeholders stood up, the Counties Transit Improvement Board found a solution to keep the line on track!
