In 2007 the City of Minneapolis received funding to start a Bike Walk Ambassador program which in partnership with the Bike Walk Twin Cities and other community partners, encourages people in Minneapolis and neighboring communities to bike and walk more and drive less.
Cycloplan is an extension of Cyclopath, a web-based wiki application
that allows users to create, edit, and rate their own bike routes on a
regional basemap.
Walking the walk every day
I love standing up for the opportunity to
travel in "carbon-less" modes-especially when I am prepared with facts and
reasons to tell others why I am making these choices.
The first "Bikes May Use Full Lane" signs (in this region) have now been erected on Marshall Ave in St. Paul (between Cretin Ave. and the river). The sign reinforces existing traffic law that allows bicyclists to "take the lane" when it is necessary for their safety.... like going downhill fast! Don't be shy—position your bicycle in the center of the lane and hold your position.
