Minneapolis is in development of a 10-year transportation plan called “Access Minneapolis.” For those who ride, this is a time to take notice and participate in the discussions. This plan will have great impact on the future alignment of the downtown street system and identifies priorities that will have an impact on the rest of the city. To sum it up the bicycles are not fairing well. This process began in late 2005. I am late to the table (kind of slacking on this plan), so I have to do some research before I can give my assessment on the plan. It is time to do your research too or we could see bicycle lanes down the middle of Hennepin Avenue in between free flowing traffic. I will prepare my assessment and some action steps in the next two weeks.
I have homework to complete!
