  • Morning storms, safety concerns, and community events in Minneapolis

    Morning storms, safety concerns, and community events in Minneapolis
    2025/07/05
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, July 5th. We hope you had a safe and joyful Fourth of July. As we wake up this morning, storms are approaching the Twin Cities with showers expected through the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the upper 80s, but humidity and the risk of thunderstorms mean you’ll want to keep an umbrella handy and check for any weather delays for outdoor events.

    Let’s begin with breaking news: Early this morning, Minneapolis police responded to a fatal shooting on the north side. A man was shot while riding an electric scooter. The incident happened near the intersection of 21st Avenue North and Penn Avenue. Police continue their investigation; there is no suspect in custody at this time and anyone with information is urged to contact the authorities. In other safety news, first responders rescued eight people from the Crow River yesterday after their tubes flipped, a reminder to be vigilant when enjoying our area’s waterways.

    At City Hall, we’re seeing the impact of recent council decisions on everyday life. The Minneapolis City Council has enacted broader employee protections, making it illegal for employers within city limits to discriminate based on height, weight, housing status, or justice-impacted status, which includes a person’s criminal record. These changes aim to help more people find and keep jobs right here in Minneapolis.

    Now, on to the holiday weekend events. Downtown is buzzing with the Taste of Minnesota festival along Washington Avenue and Nicollet Mall today and tomorrow. Expect street closures on 3rd Street South and Marquette Avenue, but good news: Metro Transit is offering free rides for festival-goers. Cooling stations are set up to help you beat the heat. The Minneapolis Convention Center is hosting the USA Volleyball Junior National Championship through Sunday, drawing families and teams from across the country. Over at Target Center, the Minnesota Lynx continue their home stand, taking on the Golden State Valkyries tonight.

    If you’re a baseball fan, the Minnesota Twins are in the middle of a home series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Target Field. Last night, Harrison Bader hit a walk-off homer, sending fans home happy. In the community, the annual Red, White and Boom fireworks over the riverfront drew thousands last night. If you missed it, the city has several family-friendly events continuing this weekend.

    In Minneapolis real estate, housing demand remains strong, but new listings are lagging slightly behind last year by about eight percent. The average home price in the city is now just over $390,000. On the job front, hospitality and summer recreation positions are still hiring, with many local businesses offering signing bonuses to attract workers.

    One feel-good note: Abbey’s Hope, a local non-profit dedicated to water safety, is celebrating a major milestone this week, having educated more than 100,000 Minnesota children since its founding.

    That’s the news making waves here at home. This has been Minneapolis Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Holiday Safety, City Hall Renovations, and Community Resilience in Minneapolis"

    "Holiday Safety, City Hall Renovations, and Community Resilience in Minneapolis"
    2025/07/03
    Good morning, this is Minneapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, July 3, 2025. We’re here to catch you up on what’s happening in our city as we head into a big holiday weekend.

    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.
