Here is our first-ever list of walking advocacy priorities! We're excited to be working on these with our volunteer Pedestrian Work Group and partners.

Priority policy items to improve walking in Minneapolis

• • Have the 2040 Minneapolis comprehensive plan include new walk-friendly policies.
  • Improve winter sidewalk and corner maintenance so people can stay walking and rolling year round.
  • Improve how we do stop lights to make them friendly to people walking and biking.
  • Create and fund a pedestrian crossings improvement program to be able to make more proactive walk safety improvements on streets.
