Good morning, Rochester.

Mayo Clinic released a statement on Saturday morning regarding the shootings that killed former House Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and injured State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette — expressing deep sorrow and offering condolences to the families — as part of a broader response by local organizations.

City officials announced that the Link Bus Rapid Transit project will begin today on 2nd Street Southwest with utility and roadway improvements near St. Marys Hospital—initial work will focus on water and stormwater upgrades between 11th and 12th Avenues.

Traffic on the south side between 9th and 13th Avenues will be reduced to one lane in each direction during the first phase, which is expected to continue into mid-July with a second phase planned for mid-July to mid-August.
