Skateboarding at Bde Maka Ska, no swimming at Cedar Lake Point Beach

Emails obtained through a public records request show that city officials were planning a push for dynamic lanes on Hennepin Avenue South as early as February immediately after the new Council was inaugurated. This came after Public Works had prioritized 24/7 dedicated bus lanes in the plan for four years. Adam Wysopal wrote about what he found in the public data.

The Public Works & Infrastructure committee meets tomorrow and will revisit dedicated bus lane items that were vetoed by the mayor in June.

We visited the Bde Maka Ska pop-up skate park this morning with Grant, a skateboarder and member of the Queer Skaters MN. "I like the solitude," Grant said, about skating alone in the early morning. Grant also pointed out that the skate park doesn't take up any parking spots in the actual parking lot. "People were pissed about parking" when the plan was initially announced, he said. The park is placed in a turn-around area of the lot. We will have a story up later today.
