S.T.R.I.D.E.
Southside, Minneapolis. We've got
it all: the chain of lakes, uptown, the creek, Lake St., Powderhorn
Park, food co-ops, community gardens, the Midtown Greenway, the
Mississippi River, Eat Street and
Traffic. Park your bike over I-35W
sometime and watch the cars inch forward in a state of collective
ennui. But that's their world. Our world is the open air on bike
and foot, the community inside of a metro transit bus, and soon
- Hiawatha Light Rail. Traffic growth is losing out to traffic
Reduction. Look at the Cedar/Kennilworth
Trail, Midtown Greenway, on-street bike lanes, light rail, traffic
calming, urban infill, rising transit ridership, whew!
Of course, none of these happened without tons of citizen
Initiative. The infrastructure we
invest in dictates how we live. Cars bring congestion, pollution
and poor quality of life. The southside already has good transit
and walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods. Come join us in
Determining our Environment.
