I don't understand how people say Hennepin Ave is unsafe for walking. I've walked all of Uptown, and Lakes for years and dont find these streets unsafe at all. To the rider, EleniGB, who chose not to ride to Frattalones on Hennepin, why didn't you just ride up 1rst Ave to Greenway? I drive 1rst Ave, and Nicollet, daily and find they are all relatively tame traffic wise Also, Grand Ave is relatively tame. Those 3 streets have access to the Greenway, 26th St, and 28th St Bike Lanes. Or go over to Bryant Bike St, hop on Greenway, get off at Irving, ride north to 28th and go to Frattalones. Elizabeth C, your comment is catchy, yet misguided. Prioritize humans, whether they drive, bike, bus, or walk. You state "all the car traffic makes it unappealing to speed time there", yet, FOR YEARS, all the outside restaurant tables were filled with diners, people sat outside at Sebastian Joes, Green Mill, Nicos Tacos, Spyhouse, Isles Bun. And, sidewalks were also full of people walking around. I think many of these commentators do not live here, or they are anti Car activists who wills whatever makes Hennepin sound scary, uninviting, non inclusive, so they can win their goal of no personal vehicles in the city.
