Kenny Community Big Bike Bash

Thursday, May 31st from 5:30-7:30pm pedal on over to Kenny Community School for a family night of fun.

It's a bike rodeo and carnival all rolled into one.  There will be pros to help you fit your helmet, inspect your bike, and teach you to change a flat tire. Then test your riding skills on the off-road course in the Kenny Park.  And that's only half the fun!  Drop off your bike in the corral and try your luck at the carnival games to win prizes.  You might be lucky enough to ride away with a silent auction basket of goodies to boot.  Don't worry if you aren't in the mood to cook, there will be plenty of options to satisfy your hunger. So, ride on over and enjoy all the fun.

As you may have already discovered, the bridge over the Minnehaha Creek on Lyndale Avenue was closed on January 17, 2012. This was earlier than expected and due to environmental concerns. Road reconstruction on Lyndale Avenue between the bridge and 56^th St is scheduled to begin in April. Both projects are anticipated to be completed by October 2012, depending on many factors.  Please visit the Lyndale Construction website for updated information or click on the link on the right hand side of this page.

Travel in this area will be trying over the next 10 months. The official (signed) detour according to Hennepin County is on Penn Ave. Nicollet Avenue and other surface streets will also provide routes around the bridge closure.
