As You Go MPLS community engagement

Celebrate new bike lanes and sidewalks in Minneapolis.

As You Go MPLS events

These events are part of As You Go MPLS, a program of Minneapolis Public Works.

The events are a way to:

  • Try out biking or walking on a new route.
  • Learn about ways to get around the community.
  • Celebrate new infrastructure with neighbors.

We have planned bike rides around the neighborhood and celebration events. These events will occur on newly completed street projects in Minneapolis.
