Our partner organizations

How we've shared roles in the past

The Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition has always served as the Open Streets Minneapolis Organizer. Many groups help to plan and put Open Streets Minneapolis into action. it's important to have a clear understanding of the roles and duties for each party.

Route event hosting

At times, the Coalition has partnered with local organizations to provide event hosting.

There's a professional services agreement between the City and the Organizer. This exists to clearly define and distribute duties. The Organizer also develops a memorandum of understanding (MOU). Thy develop this with each of the route event hosts.
