The city of Minneapolis tells 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS it is still finalizing the timeline, process and approach for reopening 38th and Chicago, the intersection known as George Floyd Square.
Barricades have blocked the intersection ever since George Floyd s death nearly 11 months ago.
Last month, the city announced they may not wait until the end of the Derek Chauvin trial to reopen the roads. However, two days after the verdict, the intersection remains closed.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS asked the city for an update on their plans Thursday. A city spokesperson said: City leaders continue to meet with community stakeholders to discuss the best path forward for the future of the intersection, understanding this is a very important gathering space for healing and reflection. The City is also working with the Floyd family and community members on plans to peacefully commemorate the first anniversary of George Floyd s murder at this intersection.

Shortly after the death of George Floyd, a group of locals shut down several blocks of the city around the site of the incident. They are still occupying the area and have denied access to local authorities including when a murder occurred there.
These people are such useful idiots, communist morons who are beyond clueless. Am I being too harsh?
They have issued 24 “demands” that must be accomplished before they say they will vacate the area. There are some ransom demands.
Protesters presented the city with a list of 24 demands on August 7, 2020, before the intersection could be re-opened:
