Lake Street, Minneapolis: Haze from Canadian Wildfire Smoke

Cars and pedestrians cross street on a hazy Lake Street
Hazy skies, a result of smoke from Canadian wildfires, blanket Lake Street in South Minneapolis. This major commercial corridor and transit route is known for its diverse businesses and its historical significance, including its role during the 2020 Minneapolis uprising. The poor air quality underscores the widespread environmental impact of wildfires across North America during this period.
