Cedar Ave Bridge Rally

Today was an awesome rally attended by several hundred (nearly 1,000?) people. Barry Hans and I rode over together. We are both on the Bike Edina Task Force. State Representative, Ann Lenczewski (rep.ann.lenczewski@house.mn) from Bloomington chaired the speakers, which included governors/mayors and other citizen groups from dozens of cities and counties around Minnesota. Below are just a few of the speakers and supporters. Interests ranged from bicycle transportation and recreation, bird watching, hiking, walking, and others.

Dave G. (Hiawatha Bicycle Club & Twin Cities Bicycle Club) with Ann Lenczewski. Friends from HBC John, Jim, Dale, Becky, Russ. Hans talks with some of the media crew. The crowd was huge...nearly 1000? Part of it is shown here. The bridge is shown with various closed signs. Mike Maquire (second to last photo, speaking ) of Eagan (mayor) and another leader (blue shirt)--I need to get her name.
