Fourth Street in downtown St. Paul has a bright future ahead with the opening of the Green Line in June, but we want to make that future even brighter by creating connections - between stations, between modes of transportation, and between transportation and commerce.

The Future of Fourth will open Fourth Street in downtown St. Paul from Minnesota to Wacouta to bike and pedestrian traffic only.

Celebrate Bike to Work Day at the Future of Fourth.

Experience Fourth Street as you never have before with:

• Protected on-street bike lanes
• Pop-up shops
• Arts activities 
• sPARKit 
• Shop at the Farmers' Market 
• Food Trucks
• Free rides on Nice Ride 
• Parklets
• Outdoor work spaces with Coco 
• Music 
• Most importantly, fun.

More is being added by the day. Be sure to let us know you are coming on Facebook.
