21st Century Streets

The design for a new "Green 4th Street" in the University Avenue Innovation District, which spans both Minneapolis and St. Paul, shows what streets will be like in The City After the Automobile, as Moshe Safdie called it in his book by that name. Snow Kreilich Architects and Oslund Associates, landscape architects, have created a design that makes the street a place in which people want to occupy and interact. Read a piece on it in the Minneapolis Star Tribune here:
