Lots of bridge work in Mpls this summer. It's still a great city for biking - here's a map to navigate closures and bike detours.

[Tim Sexton @timvsexton]

@CrimeWatchMpls Big thank you to Mpls plow driver who stopped to help a person who had fallen in the road. They were going above and beyond to do a good deed and did not hit anyone.

@SkywayTheatre
Do you have showtimes for Ford and San Holo tonight?

[Tim Sexton @timvsexton]

@realistic_randy @ModistBrewing 11/10 (why not). Big upside and Tight End U pedigree - go Hawks!

[Tim Sexton @timvsexton]

Skies were cloudy but that didn't stop folks of all ages (incl. those in suits) from biking, riding the train, enjoying a quiet e-bus, or all of the above. Thanks to the Dutch Embassy for an inspiring tour of their multimodal systems.

The #mnleg didn't approve $315M in MN's federal IIJA money - so @MnDOT can't use it.

You'll see other states moving forward w/ new investments & creating 1000s of jobs, but MN will be left behind & not be as competitive for other federal grant opportunities until #mnleg acts.

[Jake Loesch @jakeloesch]

Remember the IIJA, that historic & bipartisan infrastructure package that Congress passed?

If #mnleg fails to pass a transpo bill, @MnDOT can't spend any of MN's IIJA $. We also risk losing up to $100M in federal $ this yr. Huge missed opportunities.

Good @StarTribune summary:

@Mike_MREA @BrendanJordanMN @DriveElectricMN Exciting times ahead @Mike_MREA! Rural electric cooperatives will be important partners in development of a statewide EV network for all Minnesotans.

MN 2021 EV Assessment released. Focus on equity strategies for EV adoption and will be foundation for future statewide EV charging plan to access new fed EV charging $. https://t.co/aaQplteiBM

Thanks for @GreatPlainsInst and @_AllisonBell_ for their support!

Just got new pics of 1 MW community solar on underused gravel pit. Saving $ with rents from vendor and guaranteed savings on electric bills. Air quality and carbon benefits are nice bonus, too. Thanks photo team @MnDOT!

Today, Gov Walz took an important step moving MN towards a Clean Fuel Standard (aka LCFS). This is biggest single policy action the state can take to reduce transport climate pollution.

Great Climate Week reminder: transport is #1 source of climate pollution and all-of-the-above approach is needed.

Strong example of leadership and collaboration from Minnesota's public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
