Cars are now able to drive along East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue — the intersection where George Floyd was killed by now-former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on May 25, 2020. It was closed for more than a year as a memorial to Floyd, but cars can now get through.
And the intersection of Lake Street at Girard Avenue is open again in Uptown. It was closed off and on as police and protesters had a tug of war over the area in the past several weeks after a federal fugitive task force shot and killed Winston Boogie Smith Jr. atop a parking ramp earlier this month.
