Act Now: To Prevent Mayoral Veto

The City Council voted 8-5 today (June 16th) in support of full-time bus lanes for Hennepin Avenue. But this isn’t a done deal. Mayor Frey can use his veto power to block the Hennepin Avenue layout the council just approved. Help protect our big win!

SUCCESS! City Council just voted to approve the layout for the Hennepin reconstruction, including restored 24/7 bus lanes on day one. The future of this project now lies with @MayorFrey.
