Lyndale Ave Reconstruction is Once in a Lifetime Chance
Manage episode 401955577 series 2908518
John is joined by Julie Johnson and Katie Jones to talk about the "Livable Lyndale" campaign to fix a terrible, no good, super fast, dangerous, hostile to humans, neighborhood street. Right now in 2024 is our once in a lifetime chance to fix a street that hasn't had a full reconstruction since the 1930s. Hennepin County, who controls this street, is scheduled to publish design options soon. They need to hear from you. Final approval of a layout is expected this summer. Don't wait another 90 years to get involved! You'll be dead by then! The time to fix Lyndale Ave is now. We talk about the recent history of activism on the street, inspired by Ted Ferrara, who died crossing Lyndale on foot after getting out of a car; the 2022 4-to-3 lane conversion that worked despite years of naysaying from the county and other opponents; how Lyndale's super wide dimensions make it easier to fit pedestrian, bike, and transit amenities; and how you can get involved.
