The first installment of a many part series recorded during the Lyndale Avenue edition of Open Streets Minneapolis on June 5, 2022. We haven't Open Streets on Lyndale in June since 2019. To mark the occasion, John has borrowed a four-wheeled recumbent bicycle with side-by-side seating, and transformed it into what he's calling "the world's first pedal-powered podcast." Our first two guests are Ash Narayanan, executive director of Our Streets Minneapolis, and Elissa Schufman, a transportation advocate and board member at Our Streets (the non-profit organization that organizes Open Streets Minneapolis events). We talk about the history and significance of Open Streets, how this event has shaped the way we think about street projects, the future of Hennepin and Lyndale Avenues, and much more.
