Midtown Greenway, Minneapolis: Fall Colors on Bike Trail

The Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis is a 5.5-mile paved multi-use trail built on a former railroad corridor. Opened in phases starting in 2000, it connects diverse neighborhoods across the city. The trail is a vital piece of urban infrastructure, providing a safe and accessible route for cyclists, walkers, and runners. Its conversion from a freight line to a public path demonstrates a commitment to active transportation and the repurposing of industrial land for community benefit.
