LHP&L Committee Southwest Pedal Power (SWPP) is looking to bring local, experiential insight and thoughts from our community to assist our City in the decision-making process and implementation of bike lanes in our community. Stay informed by joining our email list below. Visit the dedicated website here.
Linea’s Power Bar recipes here.
Currently, we volunteer to bring stakeholders together to consider:
1. Ideas and recommendations from the City for Upton Ave S, between Hwy 62 and Lake Calhoun.
2. Efforts to make W 44th St an east-west thoroughfare, between Lake Harriet and Edina, connecting the business districts.
4. Efficiencies of implementation created by local resurfacing and infrastructure acceleration projects.
5. Other area priorities identified by residents, property owners, and the City of Public Works that is consistent with the Bikeways Master Plan.
