Then we'll see the new bike lanes on Shields, Pierce, and St Anthony which make up an important new connection to the Midway neighborhood from the west. We'll end by looking at the route of a proposed Midtown Greenway Extension. It will be a slow roll pace and all are welcome. Other Upcoming Events

The last two events will be on Tuesday, June 18, at the Intersection of Bruce Vento Trail and Frost Avenue, 4-6 p.m. ...and Tuesday, June 25, at the Intersection of Bruce Vento Trail and Gervais Avenue, 4-6 p.m. If you can't make either of these events, you can also share your opinions via an on-line survey at-- https://www.ramseycounty.us/content/share-your-input-bruce-vento-trail-and-rush-line-brt-tuesdays-trail



June ???, watch our Facebook Page and Twitter for the date, time and location of the final open house for the Johnson Parkway off-street multi-use trail. It will be built in the eastern median of Johnson Parkway. This will require closing off several of the cross streets at the median to allow the trail to have longer, 2-block distances without motor vehicle crossings. These closures will also make crossing Johnson Parkway easier for pedestrians and cyclists.

New Effort to Extend the Midtown Greenway

The Midtown Greenway Coalition and other groups (including ours) are making another push to extend the Midtown Greenway across the Mississippi to Saint Paul. Some of you contributed to a new, crowdfunded engineering study of the Short Line Bridge to assess the feasibility and cost of making it safe for bicycles, pedestrians and trains.
