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.

@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.

South Minneapolis - After 3 p.m., person hit by a plow. 19xx Emerson Ave S

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

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

Scale of 1-10 how are y’all feeling about the TJ Hockenson trade? Let your voice be heard with #modisttake for a chance to win a $25 giftcard to @ModistBrewing. Winner selected at random on Thursday.

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.

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:

@robdelaney @RussianCircles

Metalheads & loud guitar enjoyers: who, other than Elder & High on Fire, are producing consistently amazing albums these days?

@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.

Looking forward to working with @timvsexton @BrendanJordanMN and members of @DriveElectricMN on MN’s EV Infrastructure Deployment Plan.

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 $. tinyurl.com/2p8fhzse 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!
