Alexander Furneaux

Alex loves seeing cities at the pace of a person walking or riding their bike. He believes it helps us connect with our communities and allows us to notice qualities that make them unique. As an urban planner specializing in community engagement and collaboration, he works closely with communities to plan safe, practical, and joyful opportunities to move about.

Alex is a newcomer to Minneapolis, originally from Toronto, Canada. Since moving to Minneapolis, he has enjoyed exploring the Twin Cities by bike, public transit, and on foot. In Toronto, he was an organizer with the Bike Brigade, a mutual aid organization connecting people to fresh food and other essentials through a network of bike riders. Alex also loves baking, gardening, print-making, and his little black cat, Linus.
