It is correct that riding bicycles on sidewalks is generally permitted except
in "business districts" and except on U of M property.
That being said, does anyone know exactly what constitutes a "business
district" and where they are in the City? I can't find anything on the City
website, I called 311 a few months ago and, after waiting about 20 minutes
while the operator looked everywhere she could think of, was told that, "since
this involved interpretation of a City ordinance" (???????), I would have to
call the City Attorneys' office. Not wanting to waste the time of the City
Attorneys' office and not wanting to get laughed off the phone, I let it go.
But someone, somewhere, must have a record of Minneapolis' "business
districts." I get that 7th and Nicollet is probably a business district. But
what about NE Hennepin? What about Lyndale and Franklin? Any help out there?
