What do we do about Southwest LRT? What should Hennepin County's bike plan look like? What obstacles and opportunities intersect the issue of transportation? Several candidates are running for the open seat on Hennepin County's Board of Commissioners, and we want voters to be clear on where the candidates stand.
In partnership with streets.mn and the Alliance for Metropolitan Stability, the Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition is presenting a nonpartisan forum for commissioner candidates to share their views on the future of transportation in our city. The forum will take place in the meeting room of the Linden Hills Park at 3100 W 43rd Street in Minneapolis. It will go from 7:00 to 8:30 PM on Thursday, March 6.
Hennepin County's third district includes Downtown Minneapolis, South Minneapolis West of Interstate 35W, and St. Louis Park. We hope the event allows the candidates an opportunity to share their plans to make the area a more sustainable and equitable community.
Prepare for the event, read candidate views here.
The forum will be moderated by Paula Pentel, coordinator of the Urban Studies Program at the University of Minnesota. RSVP — and invite your friends!
You can RSVP and invite others via Facebook.
