About a month ago, Hennepin and First Avenues were converted from one-way, to two-way streets. The city made the switch on a weekend morning in order to minimize problems. City officials say so far the conversion has gone well, with a few exceptions.
"At first the cars were all parked, basically in the bike lanes," said Sophie St. Jacques on her bicycle as she prepared to continue north down First Avenue.

Comments

The PE claimed they moved the Hennepin lanes due to the non-normal location, but does not comment on how little protection the non-normal 1st ave lanes provide. Seems hypocritical, but what more can we expect from the city.
