We need your help to ensure the City of Minneapolis takes action to create a pleasant, safe, and vibrant Hennepin Avenue for our community. We want full-time transit lanes and a safe, separated bike path, along with pedestrian improvements. We’ll update this action list as we make our way through the process for the Hennepin Avenue reconstruction project. On June 16th, the city council voted 8-5 in favor of the Hennepin Ave layout. On June 17th Mayor Frey blocked full-time bus lanes from the council approved layout. We’re working on overriding his veto. On June 30th, the council failed to override Frey’s veto. Hennepin heads back to PWI Committee on July 14th (now delayed two weeks, July 28th). Contact information for Council and Mayor Frey.
- Hennepin returns to the City Council for a (potentially) final vote on August 4th at 9:30 AM City Hall (350 S. 5th St), Room 317.
