Learn more about how we get thereBicycle wayfinding signage currently exists at several locations around Minneapolis, including the Midtown Greenway and at the newly installed mobility hub pilots. Providing a similar set of navigational wayfinding signs, designed for those using the All Ages and Abilities Network, will help provide direction to those on the network. An interconnected All Ages and Abilities Network with signage that shows users time or distance to certain destinations on a low-stress corridor will give users the ability to navigate the network, and the destinations it will serve, with assuredness.
