Hi Streets.mn crew,

Join us at Open Streets Franklin this year on Sunday, July 10!

This year’s event spans East Franklin Avenue from Portland Avenue to 26th Avenue. Mingle in motion with us, starting at the west end and meandering east to reconvene on the west end in Seward. From there, we’ll venture off Franklin for a little stroll down Milwaukee Avenue, a biker- and ped-friendly mall and Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.

Watch for Streets.mn leads at the west end (Portland & Franklin) at noon, and near the east end (Milwaukee & Franklin) around 1:30 pm. The Streets.mn leads will be sporting fluorescent safety vests — and maybe even a traffic cone. Bring water and sunscreen — plus any cash you’d like to use for vendors along our route. 

Hope to see you there!
