Minneapolis will continue exploring a plan to turn the intersection where a police officer murdered George Floyd into a pedestrian plaza after the City Council on Thursday overrode the mayor's veto of the project.

The debate over developing George Floyd Square centers around whether it should be turned into a pedestrian plaza or whether cars should be allowed through.

The Minneapolis City Council voted Thursday to move forward with a study that explores turning the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue into a pedestrian mall.

By a vote of 9-4, the Minneapolis City Council overrode Mayor Jacob Frey's veto of the council's plan to establish a pedestrian mall at George Floyd Square in south Minneapolis.
