Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
We're kicking off the day with some exciting news from City Hall. The Minneapolis City Council has just approved a new initiative to expand bike lanes throughout the city. Construction is set to begin next month, starting with the addition of protected bike lanes along Hennepin Avenue from downtown to Uptown. This move aims to make our city even more bike-friendly and reduce traffic congestion.
In weather news, we're looking at a partly cloudy day with temperatures reaching a high of 58 degrees. It's a perfect day to get out and enjoy some of our beautiful parks. Speaking of which, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has announced that the annual Spring Flower Show at the Lyndale Park Gardens will begin this weekend. It's a great opportunity to see the first blooms of the season.
On the business front, we're sad to report that Dangerous Man Brewing, a pioneer in the local craft beer scene, has announced it will be closing its doors for good. The Northeast Minneapolis taproom has been a neighborhood staple for over a decade. However, it's not all bad news in the local beer world. A new brewery, Loon Lake Brewing, is set to open its doors next month in the Warehouse District.
In real estate, the Minneapolis housing market continues to be competitive. The median home price in the city has risen to $375,000, up 5% from last year. Despite this increase, real estate agents report that demand remains high, especially in neighborhoods like Linden Hills and Nokomis.
Turning to sports, congratulations are in order for the Wayzata High School boys' basketball team. They clinched the Class 4A state title last night with a thrilling victory over Cretin-Derham Hall at Williams Arena. The final score was 62-57, with Wayzata pulling ahead in the final minutes of the game.
In job market news, the tech sector in Minneapolis continues to grow. A recent report shows that the city is expected to see a 20% increase in tech roles by the end of the year, with particular demand in cloud computing and cybersecurity.
Now for our daily crime report. Minneapolis police are investigating a series of car break-ins that occurred overnight in the Whittier neighborhood. Residents are advised to ensure their vehicles are locked and valuables are not left in plain sight.
On a lighter note, we'd like to give a shout-out to the students at Washburn High School. Their robotics team has qualified for the national championships, which will be held in Detroit next month. We're rooting for you, Millers!
Looking ahead, don't forget that the Minneapolis Institute of Art is hosting a special exhibition on contemporary Indigenous art starting this Friday. It promises to be a powerful and thought-provoking showcase of local and national Native American artists.
This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
