Directions:

Access for pedestrians and bicyclists is directly from the Midtown Greenway trail between Chicago and 10th Avenues. 

If arriving from the street level, go to the 2800 block of either 10th or 11th Avenues South and walk or wheel down into the Greenway through the outdoor trail entrance ramp, then go ½ block west. By bus, take #21 or #5 to Midtown Exchange, then enter the Greenway behind the Sheraton Hotel via stairs or the skyway elevator.

Special Events

So we know that you love the Greenway, and you love the Coalition.  How about helping us spread the word?  There are still a lot of Greenway patrons out there that still don't know about us, and the work that we do.  There's also a lot of events that we miss tabling at simply because we don't have the staff power to do it.  

Here are some examples:

• Table on any given day on the Greenway during bike "rush hour"
• Table at an event like the St. Paul Bike Classic, or the Minneapolis bike Tour.
• Table at an event or for an organization that you are a part of, such as a community organization's annual meeting.

If any of these opportunities sound of interest to you, please e-mail Nate Kerr at nate@midtowngreenway.org, or give him a call at 612-879-0106.  That way we can include you in our corps of volunteers.
