Minneapolis Public Works removes barricades at George Floyd Square

Minneapolis Public Works crews remove barricades at George Floyd Square, 38th Street and Chicago Avenue.
Minneapolis Public Works crews remove barricades from George Floyd Square, also known as the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue in South Minneapolis. The square became a focal point for protests and community organizing following the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. For over two years, the intersection was largely controlled by protesters and community members, who established it as a space for remembrance and activism. The removal of these barricades by city officials marked a significant moment in the ongoing efforts to reclaim public space and restore traffic flow.
