This topic came up this weekend at a house party for ward 2 city council candidate Cara Letofsky hosted by Park Board Commissioner John Erwin and myself. Cara was very excited by the possible opportunity to expand our citys bicycle infrastructure. She spoke about her years on the Midtown Greenway board of directors, on the citys Capital Long-Range Improvement Committee, and her demonstrated commitment to a bicycle and pedestrian-friendly city. Cara talked about the Midtown Greenway model with a major backbone with "green fingers" or access routes that spread outward from the greenway, and into neighborhoods, to provide inviting approaches and encourage people to use the greenway for recreation and to change their transportation choices. I am excited about Caras vision for the future of the City of Minneapolis and I am proud to support her candidacy for city council. For more information visit her web site at: www.votecara.com.
