Midtown Greenway closure between 5th and Bryant has begun on schedule today, for Nicollet Ave bridge demolition. Please be careful on the detour, especially cycling westbound.

(If you can use the stairs at Stevens, it's only closed between Bryant and Stevens!)

Most likely, this was laid out in the contract that allowed the use of the right of way to begin with

REMINDER: Midtown Greenway closure between 5th and Bryant starts TOMORROW Oct 14

(assuming this is actually still on track)

If following the detour: mind oblivious car drivers who won't be watching for westbound bicycles on 28th!

Ah. Well, I think it does. I haven’t proven it. I think FAA would be unhappy if phone manufacturers weren’t giving their customers the ability to actually turn off the radios. But FAA regs just say passengers have to turn off the cell phone.

It does on iPhone. “Turning on Airplane Mode turns off all radios except for Bluetooth” support.apple.com/en-us/108785

There should be similar documentation out there for other phones
Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support
You can use Airplane Mode to turn off the wireless features on your device while you're flying in an airplane.

“Who is a worker?”

I’m glad you asked!

Do you decide what to do with the profits/surplus at your main occupation?

- No? Worker.

- Yes, and your colleagues all get a say too? Worker.

- Yes, and you decide for others who don’t get a say? You are officially The Man.

We are linking up the new Hennepin Ave bike lane directly with the Bryant Ave bridge over Lyndale. No turning on to Franklin required.

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I do think that's a particularly painful spot. If anyone wants to sit at that corner with a train horn to alert drivers of westbound cycling traffic, I can supply equipment (camp chair, train horn, hi-vis, hearing protection) and take a shift or two.

Be *extra* careful if traveling westbound on the detour.

Drivers are not looking for westbound traffic on 28th and I know of at least one crash (last night, car/scooters) already since the detour went in.

This is a repeat issue with any detour from the Greenway, and one I have called out before to the city. It is just not acceptable to detour 2-way cycle traffic to a street with 1-way car traffic. Drivers are terrible at this
