Bike/Transit


Bike Infrastructure

The best piece of bike infrastructure in the neighborhood is the Midtown Greenway, which is a great asset for cyclists in Whittier who need to go east or west. For those who need to go north, First Avenue has a narrow bike lane that will take you to LaSalle Avenue Downtown. If you’re heading south, Blaisdell Avenue has a protected bike lane. The 24th St pedestrian bridge is currently under construction, but it will soon provide another avenue for crossing over the interstate to the Phillips neighborhood. 

Whittier is a dense neighborhood with a shortage of parking and a sometimes confusing scattering of stop signs. 
We are also fortunate to have a great bike shop in the neighborhood on Lyndale Avenue, Flanders Brothers Cycle; if you need a bike, bike parts or a repair job, remember to shop local and keep this excellent business within our community.

Bus Routes in Whittier

The Number 18 bus runs down Nicollet and provides a convenient link between Downtown, Eat Street and Bloomington. The Number 2 bus runs along Franklin and can take you to the U of M via Cedar-Riverside; it is now a hi-frequency line. The Number 11 bus runs along 3rd avenue, and travels from Columbia Heights to 46th Street. Number 4 and Number 113 run along Lyndale Avenue, and can take you to Southtown Shopping Center and the U of M, respectively. Number 21 runs east-west along Lake Street and will take you to Downtown St Paul.
