A frequent reason I hear is the redo of Hennepin Avenue between Lake and 31st is bad for business. Yes, no one likes the layout, but it's also not the reason the *entire area* is struggling
Openings on many Mpls boards and commissions open this month.
Some current members may be reapplying for their seats but that’s not a guarantee of reappointment!
Each board has their times and past agendas listed so you can check the schedule before applying
I've been curious how many ICE vehicles have received a citation through the new traffic safety camera pilot
Will these events be held in parts of the city most harmed by the ICE occupation? They better not be more downtown boosterism
I didn't know about these updates until earlier this week. So useful to get a summary of what's happening from local electeds on a regular cadence
Looking forward to the completed Elliot Park project this spring!
Thank you for the update and handling a chaotic meeting
There's also a disconnect when the long-time caucusgoers seem to take over (usually with a weak chair) and the key steps aren't explained.
One shouldn't have to be a caucus rules expert to participate
one thing being lost in discourse is that rapid response networks are just a tool. they aren’t the end all, be all here. the actual goal is to connect with neighbors! and now with the leaks, they’re not being handed out like they were
go talk to your neighbors to find a chat! or you can make one!
DFL sent an email about federal occupation, alex pretti’s murder, and the threat of donald trump wanting minnesota’s voter rolls with less than a week before caucuses
constitutional observers will be there & a hotline? this just doesn’t feel like enough to make people feel safe
I wish the require alt-text option was opt-out and not opt-in. It would help tremendously to make it feel like the default, but that's a Bsky decision
I want everyone to know that you’re not doing this alone. Our community is united, and we’re going to win.
If you want to help influence what we spend federal infrastructure money on in the Twin Cities, and are a regular transit user.
There's still time to apply to be the Transit rep on the Transportation Advisory Board!!

I'm still angry I (and others) couldn't even get into the MN DFL listening session due to the unknown bag policy. Some of us didn't take a car there
Never got a follow up to my complaint
For those who are hedging right now on whether ICE should exist or not— the question of what would you do in 1930s Nazi Germany is here and you have a chance to answer. This is not who we are as a nation, our beloved communities deserve better.
Thanks, Bill! And likewise for all you did for many years before me.
There's $8 million in funding for the Washington Avenue bridge fence and improvements from two sources. It's currently at negotiations on how to do it between the U of M (bridge deck) and the bridge owner engineers (Hennepin county) to determine how it can be done
Thank you for being tenacious! After the storm last week I had to follow up with this exact same segment I posted about and it's yet to be done.
A few of us are very focused on improving this process at the city and park board to create accountability. Glad to know there are more of us out there!
Oof that is a tough one! Is that a privately owned sidewalk or park board?
For my MPRB ones, I've followed up by phone after the initial online request. If it's 311, I have less insight!
On a standing room only 94 headed to Mpls now. People want the fast downtown to downtown route!
The staff of Move Minneapolis are incredible and capable folks. If you know of opportunities in the transportation space, please send them their way.

I think that was true last year as well. I seem to recall not even having budget goals listed
I am thankful Lake Street Station has a refurbish slated for next year as part of Renew the Blue. It's very needed. Franklin Ave station has a pending project as well.

Still haven’t heard back about my complaint to MN DFL about being barred from entry because I didn’t have a car to put my backpack in
I saw Stinson was an unplowed segment before the map reset. It's very frustrating!
Sadly this isn’t new. For several years I have flagged this section that gets missed and it always takes at least a week to get cleared. Sometimes I get gaslit that it’s actually been cleared because the crew marks it off as complete in the system. I send the pictures and once even got an apology
No snow removal on this sidewalk on MPRB property.
Wednesday it was marked off as done but this section was never touched. It’s impassable for anyone with mobility issues. The sidewalk is on the pedestrian priority network
No reply to my request yet and snow event done per park website
I have a grand total of zero patience left for the top paid city staff in charge of community safety not being able to answer basic questions about crime trends and personnel allocations as we deliberate our budget.
I am exhausted already by 311/MPRB requests not resulting in cleared sidewalks going on a week after a snowfall. An advisory is great and all but it doesn’t fix the issue for people using it NOW
