Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has"

INTRODUCTION

Government is a slow and tedious process. While it often includes citizen and neighborhood involvement, non-governmental, private organizations have created movements and interesting groups which can create positive change in our cities and towns.

I am fascinated by the way groups are created and how they influence public decision making. This blog merely recognizes them and forwards the description of these groups from their own websites.

Streets.MN

Location: Minnesota

Website: www.streets.mn

Streets.MN explores the pressing issues facing our cities, towns, neighborhoods and the places in between. Our mission is to expand and enhance the conversation about transportation and land use through research and informed commentary.

Streets.MN was formed because we think transportation and land use news and information in Minnesota can be done better.

Content for Streets.MN is produced by these fine folks. Streets.MN is 100% member-supported and volunteer-driven. Streets.MN is a non-profit organization, governed by our board.

The streets.mn logos were designed by Jesse Ross. Jesse is a Twin Cities-based designer and web developer. He likes to draw pictures, build websites and mobile apps, eat good food and rant about politics. He can be found at jesseross.com and on Twitter as @jesseross.

Streets.MN is authored by a diverse group of contributors. The views, opinions, and positions expressed by each author — and those providing comments — are theirs alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views, opinions or positions of the Streets.MN Board or any other site contributor. Streets.MN makes no representations as to accuracy, completeness, currentness, suitability, or validity of any information on this site.
