Open Streets Minneapolis

Open Streets Minneapolis An initiative of the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition Next: June 10th, 2012, Lyndale Ave S from 22nd St to 42nd St, 10:00am - 4:00pm By opening up the streets for people to walk, bike, run and skate for a day, we get an opportunity to experience our city in a whole new way. In the past the street was the hub of the community—it was a place to shop, mingle, gossip, and play. Open Streets gives this back while promoting healthy activity and sustainable transportation. This is a great opportunity for everyone young and old to be active while engaging with neighbors and local businesses. So bring your friends, your kids, your parents, your pets and take to the streets. Be active. Be social. It’s time to social-cise! Open Streets Minneapolis

We worked with the City to make tap water available during Open Streets by converting hydrants along the route into drinking fountains.  Did you know that Minneapolis has some of the best tap water in the nation?  Thanks Minneapolis!
