The Midtown Greenway in Minneapolis, a 5.5-mile multi-use trail, traverses a former railroad corridor. This image shows the trail during a winter night, with steam rising from buildings due to sub-zero temperatures. Developed from an underutilized industrial route, the Greenway now serves as a critical transportation and recreational link, connecting neighborhoods and providing year-round access for cyclists and pedestrians.
