Consultants contracted by Minnesota found that an eight-story single-stair building with 6,000 sq. ft. per floor (building 4) has dramatically lower fire risk than a same-height code-compliant two-stair building with a larger floor plate (building 1) www.dli.mn.gov/sites/defaul...

The fire protection engineers tasked with doing Minnesota’s single-stair study will present their findings at 1 p.m. CT on Fri., Dec. 12. The virtual meeting registration (it’s open to call) is here: www.dli.mn.gov/about-depart...

Vote ‘yes’ on Nov. 4: Administrative citations promise quicker fix to violations I am a legislative aide in the Ward 3 office at City Hall. Every day constituents reach out to our office looking to share an opinion, an insight or often

Be sure to read this Op-Ed from @tombasgen.bsky.social on how voting Yes on Administrative Citations will improve the lives of renters by giving the city an essential enforcement tool. He also corrects some of the misinformation circulating about the policy.

Curious if they took advantage of the @minneapolismn.gov Green Cost Share program!?

Great success story!

How one Minneapolis neighborhood reduced its carbon emissions by 1,600 metric tons Prospect Park residents burned 29% less natural gas from 2019 to 2024, in part thanks to a campaign to improve home energy efficiency.

Love this!
“Prospect Park used 29% less natural gas between 2019 and the end of 2024, according to CenterPoint Energy, while citywide gas use fell by 20% during that period…roughly the output of 378 gasoline cars in a year.”

Bikes don’t work for every person & every trip, just as cars don’t work for every person & every trip.

Our communities are better when individuals have the freedom to choose from multiple safe, efficient modes of travel.

Studies show long term healthy behaviors are established early. That's why our youth education is focused on k-8. That's why you should sign your whole family up for the Tour. That's why it's so great that 100% of proceeds go to supporting statewide bike education and advocacy!

This is a really useful summation of a major problem for St. Paul right now

On one hand there's an actual candidate waffling positions that seem contradictory to their alleged principles...and on the other is a candidate who has consistent positions but a few donors you don't like (who stand out among a huge range of other leftist supporters). Voting for the consistent one.
