Midtown Greenway at Night – Minneapolis, MN

Night photo of bike trail through Minneapolis
The Midtown Greenway runs beneath a series of bridges in south Minneapolis, shown here during evening hours with red tail lights from passing cyclists marking the trail’s path. Originally a railroad corridor built in the early 20th century, the Greenway was converted into a protected urban bike and pedestrian route in the early 2000s. Flanked by apartments, offices, and green spaces, it serves as a major east–west transportation corridor connecting Uptown to the Mississippi River while supporting Minneapolis’s commitment to sustainable transit.
