This is a heatmap provided by Strava of where people run and walk in Eden Prairie. Two initial observations: 1. We love our parks! 🏞️ Staring and Round Lake really stand out. 2. No one wants to run or walk in the Town Center/Mall area🚷where EP has most of its businesses!

I love the prairie-themed artwork along Preserve Boulevard! Preserve blvd could easily be a 2-lane to allow for a bike lane in addition to the sidewalks. edenprairie.org/community/arts…

From Strong Towns: "Walkable streets, on the other hand, encourage business activity, generate greater tax revenue per acre and offer a higher return on investment than auto-oriented streets." strongtowns.org/journal/2018/1…

Hello, and welcome! We are a Cycling and Pedestrian infrastructure advocacy group operating around the Twin Cities area. We hope to make some real change, hopefully increasing access to safe and direct commuter infrastructure. Your support means a lot, even a retweet helps! 💚

Reducing vehicle travel is a pillar of Hennepin County's plan to get to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. EVERY planning decision going forward should be centered on how we can remake our roadways to allow for other modes of transportation besides just autos.

Some light reading this Saturday morning Donald Shoup

I don't know if EVERY crosswalk button in EP is a placebo, but I do know for certain that the one at Prairie Center Drive and Singletree is. It's a shame since so many people cross here to get to Purgatory Creek.

Eden Prairie should dream BIG when designing its public spaces. Carmel, Indiana is a suburb of Indianapolis. If they can do it, so can we.

Huge walkability improvement incoming! This summer EP is reconstructing part of Duck Lake Rd to include a trail and sidewalk. This is an important corridor for students traveling to the elementary school or high school by foot or bike. edenprairie.org/community/infr…

It's always nice to see our local elected officials on Eden Prairie's many great trails! #cycling #bike

With the delay of the METRO Green Line Extension, @SWTransit should extend its bus services in 2023 to closer match the service that the light rail would have provided if completed on schedule. This means: - Buses that leave downtown Mpls after 6:30 pm - Weekend runs to and from Mpls

Beautiful day to do the first half of my commute by bike. Thank you @SWTransit for the VIP parking!

#BikeMonth Biked out to the Pioneer Trail Community Gardens right before the sun showers started last night. 🌱 Our streak of near perfect weather continues! ☀️

The Public Works Dept is conducting a study at 9 intersections to see the volume of🚶 🚴 crossing and if there is a need for enhanced pedestrian crossing infrastructure. ✅Great residential sites close to parks and schools ✅Would love to see more in Town Center in the future too

Good that they’re making this effort. Hopefully the results are in favor of greater safety.
