Hello Minneapolis Folks:
I spent this beautiful day biking with my son along the Mississippi; we stopped on Nicollet Island to visit a friend and headed into downtown to do a little shopping. On December 27, the bike rack at the IDS building was filled to capacity, and many sign posts were being used, the occasional garbage cans, and anything else bikers could find to lock down to as a substitute for bike racks. We have a very active biking community even during our cold winter months.
My son wanted to browse with his holiday dollars at the new Target. I have a difficult time saying no to his requests even if I have been a critic of the city using millions of tax dollars for this project. What could I do now, its built and we might as well see what all the fuss is about. What was the final total on this project? Not a bicycle rack to be found. In the future I would hope the city officials that agree to subsidize these types of projects would also include a simple bike rack as apart of the multimillion-dollar agreement. Thank you to the Metropolitan Transit Commission for adding bike racks to the buses. We enjoyed the bus ride home.
