Share Your Thoughts about Micro-Mobility in Hopkins

Let us know your thoughts on riding a bike and other micro-mobility devices in the City of Hopkins! The City is currently collecting responses to two surveys to hear from the community:

1. Thanks to funding from the Hennepin County Active Living program, the City of Hopkins is developing an End-of-Trip Facilities Plan to help us understand what people need when they reach the end of their ride on a bicycle, scooter, e-bike, adaptive bike, or cargo bike. Please share your perspective with this survey.
2. This summer, Hopkins applied to renew its status as a Bike Friendly Community through the League of American Bicyclists.
