December 2025 — A winter scene along the Midtown Greenway, the 5.5-mile rail-to-trail corridor that runs through the heart of Minneapolis. The trench and bridge structures visible here date back to the early 20th century, when the Milwaukee Road railroad used this grade-separated route to move freight without disrupting street traffic. After rail service declined, the corridor was converted in stages beginning in the late 1990s, becoming one of the city’s most heavily used bicycle and pedestrian routes. The snow-covered path shows how the greenway remains active year-round, with cyclists continuing to use the historic trench even in mid-December.

May 2022 — A small protest sticker reading “Revolution is not a one-time event” has been placed on a “Yield to Peds” sign along a Minneapolis bike and pedestrian bridge. The bold, woodcut-style illustration echoes the city’s activist visual culture, where handmade graphics, mutual-aid posters, and political stickers have become common markers in public space since 2020. The sign stands near a long, elevated path, with downtown’s skyline softly out of focus in the distance—an everyday setting layered with the quiet reminders of ongoing organizing and civic expression. Seen along many commuter routes, stickers like this often circulate through local art networks and community print studios, becoming part of a broader landscape of grassroots messaging that blends into the city’s infrastructure: crosswalk poles, trail markers, bridge signs, and bike lanes. The placement here reflects how Minneapolis’s trail system frequently doubles as a corridor not only for transportation but also for political communication and neighborhood identity.
