31st & 1st Ave S post office?

They do have parking on the sidewalk on 1st Ave and up by the front door, but you have to get your bike up over the curb to access the parking by the door. Not accessible for everyone & something I wish they’d fix!

I felt very clever with my zip ties and box cutter. 😆

@sorenwithward8.bsky.social once you’re healed up, we should prob make this happen. 🧡

Bikers, walkers, and transit riders flood this form!

Always.

That happens on my Bunch too (which I think is fair as these bikes are more rare still) but it surprised me that they didn’t know the term cargo bike & acted like photos of mid and longtail bikes were new and novel!

Laura’s bunch bike is parked outside a home with a Soren yard sign. The bike also has a Soren yard sign on the front panel.

Ward 8 neighbors: Do you want me to deliver a @sorenwithward8.bsky.social
yard sign to your home by bike?

Thank for you for submitting!

…while I feel like Minneapolis is filled with cargo bikes (bc I see many, every single day), a lot of folks don’t see or notice them.

Therefore, we need to fill the city with more cargo bikes to make sure folks know this is an option for transportation!

Twice this week I’ve had conversations with folks *who live in Minneapolis* and didn’t know what a cargo bike was.

Like, didn’t know the term and were still confused/surprised when I showed them photos of a few different types.

A good reminder to me that…

Frey often says he's got a much thicker skin than when he was first elected eight years ago, but another side of that is his increasing isolation from city, county, and state governing partners — as DeWayne Davis describes.

There are too many Elizabeth Shaffer signs around Lake of the Isles.

Authorities in Minneapolis are asking for the public’s help in locating a 12-year-old girl who’s been missing since Saturday. There’s added urgency for finding Victoria Jackson because she has Type 1 diabetes and uses an automatic insulin pump, which likely needed a refill by Monday.

YouTube video by Wedge LIVE! DeWayne Davis: Jacob Frey is isolated — no relationship with city, county, state leaders

I thought this was a pretty compelling answer from DeWayne Davis to the question, how do you convey the problem of Jacob Frey to your friends who don't think he's a problem?
youtu.be/OXci4Q5wYeI?...

This is the correct take. There's a special tragedy to St Paul's downward spiral that the DSA left, the ossified Save Our Summit right, and even the city's planners don't understand or are simply unwilling to face. A 🧵

Thank you @vincempls.bsky.social for this absolutely spot-on thread on the challenges facing St Paul.
Also, see the most recent video from @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social talking about left-NIMBYs. We absolutely have to build more affordable housing, but the money to do so has to come from somewhere.

Feeling hopeful and energized after Mayorpalooza (Big thanks again to @dbrauer.net!) We spent the ride home talking about how DeWayne, Omar, or Jazz could wind up mayor and we’d feel good about the outcome. How lovely to have such a slate full of great alternatives to Frey!

Thank you for hosting @dbrauer.net !

Thanks to the 100+ who came to #mayorpalooza tonight. The spirit of fellowship - among the candidates, among the crowd - was fantastic, just a giant reaffirmation of what Minneapolis can be. Elections are competition but existence is cooperation, and it was nice to see the line between them thin.

If you see VICTORIA or know her whereabouts, please call 911 immediately.
