For a Strib story on MSP and bikes, including a visit with the airport bicyclist who ended up in court, click here. (And to see what the new racks will look like, click here.)
- Doom on the Greenway? Alert reader Mary points us to this forum thread on the 28th Street crossing that will exist once the bridge over Hiawatha opens. Mary writes: Getting ready for the Midtown Greenway Slaughter at the new 28th Street crossing, we have a thread running on Mpls Bike Love. The idea is that we need a “Pre-Memorial” fund for the dead cyclists, that could be used to buy a decent traffic light system, so that the dead cyclists wouldn’t actually have to be dead to get their safe crossing.
