Downtown Biking

Goal

A full network of bike lanes downtown to serve commuter, recreational and shopping trips to our city center, along with ample secure bicycle parking and strong connections to transit.

Background

Over the past year, bicycle access to downtown has been eroded and we are advocating for a reversal of that trend. We are working with the City to identify opportunities to close gaps in the downtown bicycle network to serve all types of cyclists. In addition to advocating for improved bicycle access to downtown, we strongly support improved transit and pedestrian connections. We believe a truly multimodal transportation system downtown will enable Minneapolis to support a vibrant economy, strong commercial and cultural center, and an increasingly residential population.
