The latest Streetfilms release offers an in-person, on-bike tour of Minneapolis.
Minneapolis has been expanding bike infrastructure around the city for decades, establishing a long-standing reputation as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the country. With a Bicycle Master Plan in place since 2011, the city’s latest works include the Minneapolis Transportation Action Plan and roadway design guidance that ensures all new protected bike lanes in the city will be built with flexible bollards and concrete separators.
The proof is in the pudding: no one has been killed while biking in Minneapolis in the last two years, says Ashwat Narayana, executive director of Our Streets Minneapolis, as quoted in the film.
