I do all my commuting by bike and public transit, which means that I usually avoid Hennepin. Though biking on Hennepin is legal, it’s a very dangerous place with its current design. There are a number of Hennepin businesses I would like to visit more often, but Hennepin is such a mess that I usually go elsewhere. I love the new design — it will make spending time on Hennepin infinitely more appealing. Imagine sitting down at a restaurant patio on Hennepin and being able to actually hear the person sitting across from you!
The new design also aligns with the adopted climate goals of the city. We need to make taking transit, walking and biking a better option to meet our climate goals. I cannot wait to see this new design implemented.
