Winter 2012 - Midtown Greenway Coalition
A NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDTOWN GREENWAY COALITION
Greenway Gets Greener
CEPRO Site is Perfect for Picnics
Safety always a top priority for the
Coalition
Last June, a cyclist attempting to use the pedestrian/bicycle
crosswalk at 28th Street and the Greenway was hit by a car
and seriously injured. Fortunately, he survived his injuries.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time someone was hit at
that crossing, which is why the Coalition has been working
with the City of Minneapolis to improve it.
We are pleased to report that late last year, the City agreed to
install new medians/islands in the crosswalk, helping to slow
down traffic and increase safety considerably.
The new medians will also feature native plantings, which
will be maintained by volunteers from the Coalition’s new
GreenSpace committee.
The medians are a significantly victory for safety. Thanks to
everyone who worked to support this improvement, including
the City of Minneapolis Public Works staff, the Minneapolis
Bicycle Coalition, members of the Minneapolis Bike Love
community, and City Council Member Gary Schiff.
¶
CEPRO site is a major new green space on the Greenway.
Another exciting development is the completion of the east
side of the CEPRO site, located next to the Greenway
between 10th and 11th Avenues. (CEPRO is the name
n
of the grain elevators that formerly stood on the site.)

Message from the EXECUTIVE dIRECTOR
Last July, it was my honor to have
been selected by the board of
directors as the new executive director
of the Midtown Greenway Coalition.
As a frequent Greenway user, resident
of Longfellow, and active bicyclist, the
job is a dream come true!
Since my first week here, barely a day
goes by without someone telling me
how much they LOVE the Greenway.
I am inspired by the many stories I hear about people who
started biking to work because of the Greenway, as well as the
way the Greenway has helped bring economic development to
the Lake Street/Midtown corridor.
Of course, the Midtown Greenway was made possible by
individual members/donors from the neighborhoods along the
Greenway and beyond. They supported the Coalition’s work to
get the Greenway built by public agencies, and they continue to
support programs that protect and enhance it.
Your membership is as important today as it ever was. The
larger our coalition, the more powerful our voice is when
defending and improving the Greenway.
Your membership helps us:
•
•
Continue our work to make trail crossings safer. Last
October we celebrated our successful effort to get the City
of Minneapolis to install new medians/islands at 28th
street and the Greenway, making that trail crossing safer for
bikers and pedestrians.
•
Continue to operate our Trail Watch safety patrol, which
bikes the Greenway every night to help keep it safe.
Thanks to our members and funding partners, we’re also
expanding our Immigrant and Refugee Outreach Program, so
that all families know that the Greenway is for everyone. New
efforts to install more native gardens and public art in the
Greenway are also underway.
We’re also getting ready for an Alternatives Analysis of the
Midtown/Lake Street corridor, which will evaluate new transit
options. The Coalition has long advocated for a streetcar or
trolley in the Greenway, which will improve safety, connect
to the Hiawatha LRT and future Southwest LRT, and support
community development.
Thank YOU for supporting the Midtown Greenway and our
Coalition. With your help, we are creating a world-class
corridor that is great for the environment, great for health, and
great for Minneapolis.
See you on the Greenway!
Continue the fight against the proposed high-voltage power
lines in the Greenway. That fight isn’t over, and we’re
gearing up for (hopefully) one last push to get the lines
buried on 28th street, rather than installed overhead along
the Greenway. Please visit the Coalition’s website and
Facebook page for updates.
Mission
We empower communities to develop, improve,
protect, and enjoy the Midtown Greenway as a green
urban pathway to improve people’s lives.

Analysis to Study Greenway
Streetcar, Other Transit Options
Metro Transit is currently beginning the process of improving
transit in the Midtown/Lake Street Corridor, a project that
could potentially lead to the creation of a Midtown Greenway
Streetcar.
In October, Metro Transit received federal funds to perform an
Alternatives Analysis for the Midtown Corridor. This “AA” will
examine various transit improvement options for the corridor,
including bus, streetcars, and light rail for the Midtown
Greenway or Lake Street.
The Midtown Greenway Coalition has supported the creation of
this streetcar in the Greenway since 1999. Fifteen neighborhood
organizations along the Greenway adopted resolutions in
support of the streetcar in 2003-04. The Coalition will be
reaching out to neighborhood organizations and community
groups for renewed support and for planning input for this
potential streetcar line in the coming year as Metro Transit
begins its study.
The Midtown Greenway
Coalition believes that a turfembedded Greenway streetcar
would be the best option. By
operating in the Greenway,
a streetcar would run much
faster than on Lake Street. By
embedding the tracks in the
grass, the streetcar would be
the least obtrusive option for
the Greenway, maintaining the
green aesthetic for the corridor.
It would also enhance safety,
by bringing more people to the
Greenway and having streetcar
operators who could alert
authorities to any issues.
Recommendations
to the Minneapolis Bicycle Advisory Committee
The Minneapolis Bicycle Advisory Committee (MBAC) has
submitted a list of bicycle infrastructure projects to the
Minneapolis Department of Public Works (DPW) for further
study. These projects will undergo cost estimates and feasibility
study before being considered for construction. The Midtown
Greenway Coalition recommended five projects be considered,
and all five were included in the MBAC’s list of projects for
DPW analysis! These projects are:
•
A 10th Avenue Bikeway between 24th and 31st Streets
•
Closing the LRT Trail Gap between 28th and 32nd Streets
•
A ramp at Pleasant Avenue to the Midtown Greenway
•
A bicycle route on 21st Avenue from the Midtown
Greenway to 40th Street
•
A 38th Avenue bicycle route from 28th Street to 42nd Street
in Longfellow
GreenwayNewsletter_Jan2012_with bleed margin +crops.indd 3
Thank you to the MBAC for their hard work! The Midtown
Greenway Coalition is hoping that many of these projects — if
not all of them — will be constructed in the next few years.

IMPROVEMENTS (continued from page 1)
New Ramp and Bridge in
Uptown
Connection to the Greenway Increases
Access
In case you haven’t seen it, there’s a new ramp on the Greenway
at Girard Avenue, increasing access to Hennepin Avenue and
the Uptown area. There’s also a new bike/pedestrian bridge
on Girard, spanning the Greenway. The project is the result of
a partnership between public and private partners, including
Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis, The Ackerberg
Group, and Greco Development. The Midtown Greenway
Coalition provided input to the bridge and ramp design. The
new ramp and bridge are expected to open in February. Please
visit the Coalition’s website and Facebook page for updates.

The Midtown Greenway Coalition has an Improvements
Committee, which helps guide development and land-use
on and near the Greenway. If you would like information
about how the join the committee, please contact
Soren Jensen, executive director, at 612-879-0105 or
soren@midtowngreenway.org.
WHO WE ARE
