Re: Stadium Parking Ramp Air Rights Development
A Ryan official confirmed this week that the tower plan hasn't been finalized and could get taller. It's from someone at Ryan, so it's more than just a rumor. And I agree with min-chi-cbus that it's fun to hear about this sort of thing. This isn't a wiki, it's a forum. I understand the argument tha...

Re: Zip Rail to Rochester
A note on http://goziprail.org/stay_informed/ from 1/29/2014 states: "A second round of public meetings are planned for Spring 2014."
Has anyone heard anything on this?

Re: Forum Etiquette
I could understand if I was trying to search the entire forum, but you would think it could handle searching just one topic, even for fairly common terms.

Can't search a topic for "parking"? Really?!
I wanted to search for info on parking in the LPM apartments thread, so I went to the thread and in the search bar, typed "parking". This is what I get: The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: parking. You must specify at least one word to s...

Re: Southwest Corridor (Green Line Extension)
What a nightmare. The new tunnels under the channel are estimated to cost $270-345 million depending on the length. Honest question, can anyone ball park what it would cost to tunnel under Hennepin from the Midtown Greenway to 94? It couldn't be *THAT* much more that $345M could it? It seems like I...

Re: The Eclipse
I don't think anyone was suggesting building a European street on the roof, the point was that narrow spaces *can* be inviting. It's up to designers/architects to make that happen.

Re: Saint Paul Streetcars
While the limestone is harder, it still not that hard. I doubt it would make much difference to a tunnel-boring machine.

Re: Saint Paul Streetcars
Are you suggesting that there would be fewer utilities to relocate by tunneling through the limestone? The utility companies operating in St Paul a hundred years ago were also aware that it is easy to tunnel through limestone, and that's why there is already a multi-layered maze of utility tunnels u...

Re: Northstar
I suppose they could put one of those "WARNING!!! Do not reverse! Severe tire damage will result!" type set-ups in the oncoming lane, but I also suppose the people that ignore the gate would ignore the big yellow sign warning them of the potential tire damage.

Apparently the driver of the second car, the one that was hit by trains going both ways, admitted to driving around the crossing arm.

Re: MSP Airport
I'm not so sure I'd call that a "plus"... Maybe if you're a fan of diabetes.That said, it does have a Cinnabon, which is a definite plus.

Re: Mayo Clinic Square (formerly Block E)
Not keen on the name "Mayo Clinic Square" but thing it's a great new direction for Block E and will better connect the business district with the entertainment district. Hopefully will increase skyway and street activity and support move retail/dining in the area. I'd guess that people wi...
