I just had a meeting with Dan Niziolek, and it sounds like a bit mistake is about to made on Lake Street. They are trying to push through a vote (planned for next Friday, July 23rd) to make the street five lanes for many blocks around Chicago Avenue.
I disagree with the whole idea that Lake & Chicago is a traffic bottleneck. I commute along that route every single day and rarely have I experienced a problem. If anything, the area around Lake & Hennepin is worse, but guess who lives near Chicago and how much power they have with the council?
How much longer must our immigrant and minority communities sacrifice for the good of the well-to-do?
How about rather than widening the road, we provide more transit options?
It's very important for this issue to get some attention before the vote a week from Friday.
I agree. How can I get involved?
