Chris Meyer

Woah! This is great news.

advocates are still reeling in this moment that the transit bill that passed is *very good*, and includes policy reform like setting parking minimums to zero in areas around transit across the state

You may not believe that new supply pushes down rents, but your landlord does.

This is awesome! Love to see this great program take root and grow.

I’m so proud to have the support of former MPRB commissioner Chris Meyer, who continues to be a leader in climate resilience! It is refreshing for public servants to be grounded in values and earnestly show up for all the right reasons.

Fab idea! his is the closest we'll get to a European plaza!
1. The street is VASTLY underused, inconveniencing few
2. It's WIDE, not a narrow shadowy north-south canyon a la Nicollet.
3. It borders a PARK, perfect ancillary use
4. Buildings are cute, would accommodate re-use
5. Cool skyline view!

For longer distances like commuting to work (50 minute bike ride for me) obviously that’s way more efficient, but for say going to Dinkytown, where it’s about equally convenient for me to walk or bike, I bike probably 80%, without any particular reason that comes to mind

I would but I don’t think I have any particularly strong explanation for it, just observing what choices I’ve made in the past

Hmm I think if it’s somewhere I’m familiar with I’d rather bike, but if I’m exploring I’d definitely rather walk, like if I’m in a new city or neighborhood I’d rather walk through it

i want to pedestrianize harmon place in loring park

Thank you both for sharing this. This is puzzling and surprising to me!

I don't think @gavinnewsom.bsky.social understands he'll be writing his legacy with how he decides on SB 79. He entered office promising millions of new homes and he's close to leaving without having gotten anywhere near that goal. Signing SB 79 is the one serious step he can take.

This.

Nicollet should not be reopened to car traffic. I am still so mad about this and probably always will be.

This is making my neighborhood less safe. Nicollet is already part of the city’s highest injury streets & opening it at Lake will make it worse.

Hello Lyndale Ave South community. Opponents of a safer design for Lyndale are generating a ton of emails (via action network), many from outside Minneapolis, to city council members in support of the no bike lane option. You may want to get busy contacting your council members.

I walked 26 miles around New York today, starting in Yonkers and ending at the Brooklyn Bridge. I’m really sore but had a great time!

State Legislatures Make Bipartisan Breakthroughs on Policies That Promote Housing In 2025, state legislatures enacted unprecedented reforms to improve the availability and affordability of housing, with lawmakers in Texas, Washington, and Montana leading the way with major successe...

14 states passed housing reforms in 2025, led by Texas, Washington, Montana.

Key wins: apartments allowed in commercial zones, reduced parking requirements, easier ADU permits.

Bipartisan support shows housing supply has broad appeal!

We had a great keynote speech from North Dakota Governor Kelly Armstrong. He told me he would sign a bill to eliminate minimum parking requirements if that came to his desk. #yimbytown

Pretty straight forward, y’all.

Cedar Lake Encroachment Tour (w/ special guest Jake) Mansion dwellers have encroached on park land and we're encroaching back!

Tonight at 6: We're entering the Cedar Lake encroachment zone. It'll be the most transgressive experience you can have while just taking a walk in a park.

What the hell? We got it backwards. I want EU standards, damn it.

ah yes, vital that we have housing for cars and not people

If there's a pro-housing challenger to Padilla, I want to donate to them

Here is the Red Cross app to sign up: www.redcrossblood.org/blood-donor-...

Donated blood today. Just a few days ago they declared an emergency shortage of blood donations in the Twin Cities area, so donate if you can. It’s a small thing we can do on horrible days like today.

I'm calling it.

Many U.S. Colleges May Close Without Immigrants And International Students, Report Finds Many U.S. colleges and universities may be forced to close without immigrants, international students and the children of immigrants

Opposing enrolling international students in US universities because their spot could’ve gone to an American is like opposing exporting goods to foreign countries because an American could’ve driven that car, dammit!

Education is one of our most valuable exports!

Best I can tell the county found a way to eliminate the bike path, while preserving their ability to say they haven't eliminated the bike path. Bizarre outcome.
