The Minneapolis City Council and Mayor R.T. Rybak approved renaming a street near the Minnesota Twins’ new ballpark as “Twins Way” at the Friday, Jan. 15 Council meeting. The street that will soon be called Twins Way is currently 3rd Avenue North, just south of Target Field between 7th and 12th streets. Street signs with the new name will be installed later this month.
In the fall of 2009, Hennepin County and the Minnesota Ballpark Authority collaborated to improve this street by widening the sidewalks and adding new lighting, landscaping and bike racks. The project will be completed this spring when more than two dozen new trees will be planted along Twins Way.
