Connecting South Minneapolis from Portland to Hiawatha, 26th and 28th St E were repaved in 2015. After a long public engagement process and a number of volunteers and community members, the City took this opportunity to install bollard-protected bike lanes on 26th and 28th Streets.

Between Portland and Hiawatha, each street now has a protected one-way bikeway. Together the two streets form a one-way pair. To complement the bike lanes, each street was reduced by one car lane, slowing down traffic and making the street safer for all users.
