Board membership at Our Streets has been one of the most fulfilling and enjoyable parts of my move to Minneapolis. This organization cares deeply about transportation’s intersections with everyday life.

Consider joining us! Please reach out if you or someone you know have questions about the role!

Reflections. What is it about Minneapolis local politics that makes me so much more excited and optimistic than any political involvement I had in Toronto? πŸ€”

And it goes without saying, excited to help @aurinmpls.bsky.social on her re-election effort in my Ward.

And if I can, lend a hand to @sorenwithward8.bsky.social in Ward 8!

After a rough two weeks in federal news it was super uplifting to hear @dewayneforminneapolis.com’s vision for Minneapolis as a mayoral candidate this afternoon at Wildflyer. Check out his campaign!

Also watching @omarfatehmn.com’s campaign!

Remember, friends don’t let friends rank Jacob Frey!

Hey MnDOT don’t think you can slide this in right before the holidays without us noticing! Keep the Boulevard options on the table!

Twin Cities Boulevard is practical, not radical.

β€œReimagining I-94: A Report on Reparative Highway Alternatives & Evaluation Metrics” addresses how removing I-94 would work, what it might look like, and what the community benefits would be.

Some parts of Open Streets Lyndale were State Fair level busy this beautiful Sunday fall afternoon

Kudos to the @ourstreetsmpls.bsky.social for another amazing year of Open Streets events - your efforts are seen and will hopefully continue to be reflected in future years!
