About Open Streets Minneapolis

Open Streets Minneapolis temporarily transforms major City streets into car-free places. This is a free event.

It gives people an opportunity to enjoy the street on:

• Bicycle
• Foot
• Wheelchair
• Skateboard
• Roller skates

We design each event with activities such as:

• Bicycle repair
• Cultural activities
• Temporary street infrastructure projects
  • For example, pop-up protected bike lanes and pedestrian bump-outs
