Hot off the press release press:

The Minnesota Twins, the City of Minneapolis, the Minnesota Ballpark Authority and Hennepin County today announced the renaming a stretch of 3rd Avenue North in Downtown Minneapolis to Twins Way. Twins Way is located at what was formerly 3rd Avenue North, just south of Target Field between 7th and 12th streets.

"We at the Minnesota Twins are grateful to the Minneapolis City Council for approving Twins Way," said Minnesota Twins president Dave St. Peter.
