Applications are open for the Pedestrian Advisory Committee

City seeks diverse pool of residents to serve on Pedestrian Advisory Committee

Applications are open March 1st through March 31st

Feb. 28, 2025 (MINNEAPOLIS) – The City of Minneapolis is now recruiting members for the Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC).

The City is seeking applicants with a diversity of backgrounds and experiences, representing the demographics of our communities to strengthen the work of our teams. Serving on the PAC offers a direct way for residents to advise the City and Park Board on policies and projects that impact pedestrians. This is a way to help make improvements that affect your community.

“We serve as kind of a nice bridge between what's happening out on the streets and what's happening in City Hall,” said Leisa Meeuwen-Ristuben, a member of the Pedestrian Advisory Committee “Even if you're brand new to the committee, there's always somebody that's willing to talk you through things. You don't even need to know the technical terms in order to say, hey, I want to make sure I can walk from place to place.”

Applications for the PAC will be accepted March 1st through March 31st. Translation and interpreting are available so all residents can participate.
