Breaking news from city hall is about safety and planning. Our city leaders are watching the calendar, and this weekend is shaping up to be one of the busiest of the year. With the Fourth of July just ahead, we’re seeing a huge wave of events that are sure to draw crowds. That means major changes on our streets downtown. Main Street, West River Parkway, and the 3rd Avenue Bridge are all closed for the Red, White and Boom festival and fireworks, and only one lane is open on Hennepin Avenue when crossing the Mississippi. The Stone Arch Bridge is closed to all walkers and bikers, and you can expect limited access on 2nd Street South. City hall is urging everyone to plan extra time and consider walking, biking, or rolling to events to keep traffic smooth. The Taste of Minnesota event will close even more streets—3rd Street South from 2nd Avenue South to Hennepin Avenue and Marquette Avenue South from 4th Street to 2nd Street South on Saturday and Sunday.
Over at city hall, renovation is still on schedule. The historic building’s upgrade is set to wrap up by year’s end, with a price tag around 35 million dollars. Most of the work on the third floor, home to mayoral staff and the city council, should be done by spring. For now, council and staff are working out of the Public Service Center on South 4th Street.
On the job front, our city continues to expand protections for workers. As of May, three new protected classes are in place: height and weight, housing status, and justice-impacted status. That means employers can’t make hiring or firing decisions based on these factors, except when someone’s size actually prevents doing the job. It’s a big win for inclusivity in Minneapolis workplaces.
For real estate, the market remains steady but neighborhoods near downtown are seeing more interest as new events and the upcoming Taste of Minnesota draw visitors and new residents. Median home prices are holding around 350,000 dollars, with pockets near the riverfront and North Loop especially active.
When it comes to the weather, today is shaping up to be the nicest of the week. We’re enjoying mostly clear skies and temperatures near 78 degrees. Tomorrow is expected to be hotter and more humid, but skies should stay clear for all the fireworks and festivities.
Sports fans have a packed weekend. The Minnesota Lynx tip off a three-game stretch at Target Center starting today, while the Twins host games at Target Field from tomorrow through Sunday. Youth volleyball is also in town, with the USA Volleyball Junior National Championship at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
In local achievements, high school teams across the city are wrapping up summer leagues with strong finishes, and we’ll see more results as the tournaments continue.
For public safety, police are stepping up patrols in downtown and along the riverfront for the holiday weekend. After several years of Fourth of July violence, our city is determined to make this year safer for everyone.
Just a quick feel-good note: North Minneapolis residents are coming together with prayer and community action to stand up against violence and reclaim their streets with peace and solidarity.
This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
