BP: Line 3 protesters hold rally, block streets in downtown Bemidji

BEMIDJI -- More than two dozen people were cited as about 100 people gathered and blocked streets in downtown Bemidji on Wednesday in opposition of the Line 3 oil pipeline replacement project.

The dozens of activists gathered shortly before 12:30 p.m. and marched from the Rail River Folk School to the intersection of Third Street Northwest and Beltrami Avenue Northwest, where they stood in a square set off by four large banners in the middle of the crossing.
