Our Streets

Carsharing—and bike sharing—is a natural extension of public transit, especially for the people who can least afford a car and would benefit from more coordinated services. We need to make the program sustainable. www.ourstreetsmn.org/2026/10/21/w...

"MnDOT’s process shut out real input from the residents and local leaders who know the corridor best." @mndot.mn.gov is moving on to the next stage of the process for Highway 252/I-94 with 10 highway expansion alternatives and a "preferred alternative" that doesn't reflect what the community wants.

The future of Olson Memorial Highway should be shaped by the residents living there. Near North residents are invited to join Our Streets and the Bring Back 6th Coalition for our Home is Here II events in the Harrison and Heritage Park neighborhoods. A free community dinner will also be provided.

Thank you to everyone who came to our board fundraiser. We had a great time talking to fellow transportation advocates and raising money for streets that prioritize people.

Last week, we hosted Imagine 6th Avenue North at Bethune Elementary. This event is another step toward a future without Olson Memorial Highway, and Near North neighbors had a direct say in what comes next. www.ourstreetsmn.org/2026/10/16/n...

Buy your ticket, and you'll not only help us get closer to our fundraising goal, but also get dinner, drink tickets, mystery prizes, bingo, and more. There's never been a better way to raise money for streets that prioritize people! www.ourstreetsmn.org/event/nightm...

Doorknocking isn't scary. Speeding cars, increasing air & noise pollution, and destroying homes & businesses are. Join us to doorknock in Near North for our Bring Back 6th campaign. We'll talk to residents about safety improvements for the corridor, like lengthening crossing times at intersections.

Support the work that supports people-first transportation. There will be mystery bags with gifts from local businesses, books, bicycle accessories, and other prizes—plus live screen printing from @seanlimmn.bsky.social! www.ourstreetsmn.org/event/nightm...

Ride with us to Dual Citizen! Meet under the Greenway bridge at Hennepin Ave @ 5:15pm, rolling at 5:30pm. www.ourstreetsmn.org/event/nightm...

We are having such a good time sharing a meal and hearing about what you’d like to see for the future of Olson Memorial Highway.

Near North residents and community members have been asking @mndot.mn.gov for safety improvements since 2022. These immediate safety improvements, necessary in the interim of the longer-term project analysis, are long overdue. Contact decision-makers to implement these life-saving measures now.

After 3 years of advocating for life-saving asphalt art, MnDOT will begin a pilot project to incorporate Aesthetic Surface Treatments (ASTs) into the public right of way on Olson Memorial Highway. We aren't stopping there. Join us on October 10th. www.ourstreetsmn.org/event/imagin...

Tomorrow starts the Week Without Driving. Make the pledge to participate! Spread the word and share your story. Tag @WeekWithoutDriving and @ourstreetsmn so we can amplify your story and show what transportation access really looks like in Minnesota. weekwithoutdriving.org

What would change in your life if driving wasn’t an option? What changes when you cannot drive somewhere? Does an errand or a doctor’s appointment become a full-day commitment? Does a job become a question of access, not ability? weekwithoutdriving.org

Walking, biking, and rolling can be scary. You can help. The Our Streets Board is hosting their annual fundraiser, Nightmare on Our Streets. There will be pizza, mystery prizes, and opportunities to connect with fellow transportation advocates. 🎨: Dane Hart, Our Streets Board Member

Do you think you can go a week without driving? People without a car and those unable to drive often face barriers getting around reliably in our communities. From October 1-8, we invite you to make the pledge and challenge yourself to not drive for a week.

We need you to ring the governor's office. Take action by calling Governor Walz's office to ask for a pause on the project.
