City works closed a while back. I think its much improved even if there are still issues with the design. I do like it better then Nicollet mall and it should help improve the street life immensely. Even the 8th street reconstruction has helped the walking experience downtown.
I agree 100 percent. Really have to applaud the city for incorporating more greening elements in all of these street reconstructions, and to DID and Greening Mpls for all their work in helping new trees, etc. survive. I still wish these new planting beds had raised curbs and fencing around them to help deter dog and people from walking through them. Also - could help prevent some of the salt into the beds during the winter time.

Now we just need people back downtown to enjoy.

Hear trees are being planted along sections of Hennepin . Can anyone post updated pics? Downtown greening is a huge interest of mine.
