A path forward for Lake Street
A week after the killing of George Floyd, Lake Street has completely changed. Businesses have all but bordered up — and there is little left besides burned-out shells of some buildings. Fundraising is already underway to help rebuild; however, it will likely take tens of millions of dollars to fix the damage done to the community.
Hoping to learn more about the effort to rebuild, MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke to Sen. Patricia Torres Ray, DFL-Minneapolis. Ray represents southeastern Minneapolis and southeastern Richfield and lives in the Longfellow neighborhood which includes parts of East Lake Street.
