The 10 worst places in Minneapolis

[lsanderson]

2. The Lyndale/Hennepin/Walker Art Center clusterfuck

Without a doubt, this is one of the worst fucking places in the city. Here you'll find a mishmash of scrubby medians, poorly timed lights, apprehensive drivers entering and exiting freeways, and cops busting poor people in the most appealing and logical place to panhandle. For cars, lanes mysteriously appear and disappear. Lines on the road are nonexistent. If there's a crash, no one has any idea that there are streets to the left and right that they should pull off on and let other people pass. If you are on a bike, you can travel down the ill-conceived fading-green-painted path as you watch assholes make right-hand turns without even glancing your way. In the other direction is the dog shit of city planning, as you are forced to either dismount your bike to walk past Rudolph's or choose certain death and martyrdom by continuing to bike into traffic like a salmon swimming upstream into a nuclear power-plant wastewater pipe.
