Blaisdell Avenue South Bikeway
26th St W to 29th St W
In 2019, the Minneapolis Public Works Department plans to convert a standard bike lane into a protected bikeway on Blaisdell Ave from Franklin Ave to 29th St W. This project will connect to an existing protected bikeway south of 29th St W, as well as to a westbound protected bikeway on 26th St W and an eastbound protected bikeway on 28th St W.
