Re: Forum Maintenance & Technical Issues
Update: no more attachments. Please use Imgur or another image hosting site. Given that we may need to move this elsewhere, I don't want non-essential gigabytes being stored here.

Re: Forum Maintenance & Technical Issues
Also -- I still provide some tech support but am not all that active on here these days. If you see issues on here that look like they need some tech help, please send a heads up to webmaster@urbanmsp.com. Case in point: I didn't see that request from 2022 until someone emailed me. I just set up Clo...

Re: Cedar Ave Corridor - Richfield
Windows- with the recent crime explosion in the metro it would seem ground floor windows into a parking garage would be a security risk- criminals could get in that way to pull an auto burglary, carjacking, or catalytic converter theft? I don't know, they're tiny awning windows. If you're breaking ...

Re: Richfield - 66th Street - General Topics
Not going to get involved in the back and forth since I may be considering this in the future in City Council capacity. However, wanna say I appreciate the interest.

FYI -- our SSL certificate expired, so folks yesterday may have gotten a "site not secure" error. To be clear, this is simply because our 1-year certificate was up. There was no loss of encryption nor any hack or loss of data — browsers are just required to warn you if the certificate / li...

Site5 -- which wouldn't be my choice, but it is a nightmare to move a big phpBB install, so delaying that. Looks like you can enable AutoSSL in cPanel to get free SSL certs using Let's Encrypt: https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/installing-letsencrypt-certificates-on-site5-hosting-using-cpanel/306...

Re: Future of the forum
The forum is now officially urbanMSP again, including slightly revised old logo. We will switch back to the old domain over the next couple of days (forum.streets will still redirect you). Thanks to streetsMN for years of supporting the forum. Nick is managing collecting and paying — I believe he wi...

Re: Pentagon Park (Hwy 100 & Industrial Blvd) - Edina
Was out to see the progress on "Pentagon Village", and so far... yikes. The other parts will be more substantial, but the strip retail along 77th has appalling frontage. They've added new right-turn lanes to already-overbuilt 77th St at the private drive just east of the frontage road, and...

Re: Embarrassing Confessions of Urbanists
A 6' privacy fence on the property line would do wonders in this situation. I highly recommend it (spoken from experience while sitting in a house on a 40' city lot). Do they make much of a difference in deflecting noise? Don't have noisy people near me, but my neighbor does have an AC condenser ri...

Re: Richfield - General Topics - 66th Street
Construction on Novo has begun — all houses were removed and the half-block of Queen Avenue is gone. Looking pretty sad with all those trees removed and just a vacant lot, so I'll be eager to see actual buildings and new landscaping going in. One of the project partners has a project page up, includ...

Re: Southdale Area Development - Edina
What are "condo standards" in the context of a tower? Anything 20 (or 25) stories is obviously going to be concrete. Do they do greater level of sound attenuation with condos vs. luxury apartments? No doubt they're all gonna be over-the-top finished with the Lifetime signature look of 2000...

Re: Southdale Area Development - Edina
That proposal is a trip. It's nice to see significant investment in the area, but I hate doubling down on the moat-of-parking mall format. Edina should actually work to integrate real public streets (not parking lot drive aisles) into the Southdale superblock. Their Southdale area plan implies this ...

Re: Richfield - General Topics - 66th Street
Hey, Wagners is a Richfield business even if currently all in Minneapolis. (Owner used to live at 70th and Lyndale too) The 1938 photo gives a good sense of it: http://geo.lib.umn.edu/minneapolis/y1938/MP-1-25.jpg. Looks like Penn is clearly established. 60th to north is in, 63rd to east of Penn is ...
