Deadline now moved to Jan. 31 to share your input on draft neighborhood traffic calming process

By

Minneapolis Public Works wants your input on a new process we are proposing to address traffic safety concerns and traffic calming requests on neighborhood streets. The process provides a way for community members to request traffic calming and for Public Works to review those requests fairly, transparently, and equitably.

The proposed process for neighborhood traffic calming seeks to provide a process that:

  • better considers the overall network;
  • is data-driven and transparent; and
  • is more equitable.

An overview of the new neighborhood traffic calming process is available here.

You can find additional details about the proposal here, including the link for sharing comments. We are accepting comments on the draft through January 31 (extended based on requests).

After reviewing feedback, Public Works will finalize the process early in 2022. We will share final details on how you can request traffic calming in the spring.

National Day of Racial Healing webinar on Jan. 18

By

This year, the City of St. Paul, City of Minneapolis, City of Brooklyn Park, Ramsey County, and Hennepin County are partnering to bring a community cross government event to recognize the National Day of Racial Healing. Racism impacts all of us and we believe we need to create more safe spaces for our collective healing. This community event is intended to bring people together and strengthen relationships between local governments and community members.

We will discuss the racial equity work happening in our local governments and share resources for racial healing. There will be time for questions and answers as well as guided mediations.

Please register before joining.
