Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is asking the city council to allocate funding for a new 3rd Precinct police building in south Minneapolis a few blocks from the old precinct headquarters, which was damaged during unrest in 2020 following George Floyd’s killing by a 3rd Precinct officer. It would cost up to $26 million. 
🚲 Students across Minnesota walk or roll to school
Around 7:10 a.m. this morning, a group of students started their walk to Expo Elementary School in St. Paul. The walking group was organized by parents for about 15 kids in the neighborhood to make the 10-minute walk down Warwick Street to the school. For many, this is their every day routine, but for others it symbolizes Walk or Bike to School Day.
