Minneapolis' George Floyd Square still hasn't reopened to traffic

Driving the news: Frey told the AP late last week that the city will move toward a phased reopening and "safe and peaceful reconnection" after the one-year anniversary of Floyd's death.

• Worth noting: That promise, like the last one, didn't come with a specific timeline.

Why it matters: Business owners and residents have described a neighborhood overtaken by shootings and violence and said the city has abandoned them.

Yes, but: Activists guarding the area said they will not agree to a reopening until a long list of demands is met, from recalling Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman to investing $156 million over the next 10 years in community services.
