B2B00844 55414 > 55401 via U of MN Transitway, 5th St, Stone Arch Bridge, 2nd St

Take Malcolm north to the U of MN Transitway.

Take a left onto the U of MN Transitway.  Note: you can bike in the road - the only thing you will see are buses.  Or you can take the bike/ped trail but you should watch your speed as there are walkers.

Continue on the U of MN Transitway until you reach Oak.  Continue past Oak, and the Transitway will spit you out onto 5th St.

5th St. will have a bike lane.

Take 5th St all the way to 10th Ave, cross 10th Ave and you will see a spiral bike/ped bridge over 35 W.

Take the bridge over 35 W and continue on 5th St until you reach 6th Ave.

Take a left onto 6th Ave and follow that down the hill to the Stone Arch Bridge.

Take the Stone Arch Bridge (bike/ped) over the river.

Once on the other side of the river, take a left onto Portland.

Take Portland to 2nd St.

Take a right onto 2nd St. which has a lovely bike lane.

Continue on 2nd St. to Marquette.

At this point, you can take a right, then a left and then a left to get to the other side of the block.  What I have mapped simply involves carrying your bike up 3 steps to cut through the block so you can continue on 2nd St.

The last few blocks to the destination are a little hairy no matter what route you take (it's not a very bikable area) but I recommend crossing Hennepin here, going on 2nd St to 1st Ave N.

Take a left on 1st Ave N and continue to your destination.
