I'm still in for Cheyenne Wyoming. The state is so small, 100,000 new citizens from the tech could probably flip it blue

If we're gonna run an aBRT line west out of downtown St Paul (and we should), Grand / Cleveland / Marshall would make the most sense. It'd be a hell of a fight giving up 4-6 parking spots every few blocks on Grand, but that would hit two major universities as well as leave room for some kind of shar...

Hypothetically, would we be be willing to trade this ramp for the USPS giving up theirs?

Some BRT only ramps and guideway from the freeway around Cliff Ave over to Nicollet north of Hwy 13 would be ideal. Avoid the cloverleaf, aim straight south for Heart of the City.

It'd probably be more realistic to plan on a Gold Line extension down the median, with dedicated ramps directly to the median at 5th/6th St in St Paul and 7th/8th in Minneapolis. Building stops at Snelling and Huron a la 46th St can still be part of the plan

They've updated the article; it now mentions two routes. One from Bloomington to Apple Valley (Red Line) and one in St Paul (A Line I'd presume) By the tone, an A Line type is probably the goal

Regardless of inducing / reducing driving demand, a full traffic 24th St bridge (with the necessarily lowered freeway) would have made a future cap possible. Since we're not gonna rebuild this chunk of freeway for another 50+ years, that's potentially a big mistake

They were cycling the colors on the jumbotron / ribbon boards inside as well (according to the webcam) Possibly "breaking in" the system?

I hope they keep the sign somehow

Is it odd that my biggest problem is the missed opportunity to connect Hudson Rd to Hudson Rd? That kind of thing always annoys the ^$* out of me

How about giving hBRT lines metallic colors and LRT lines primary colors? Rename the Orange line to Silver, and Red to, umm, copper? For colors, how about teal, maroon, purple, yellow to go with blue, green, red and orange I have no issues with the mix of colors and letters - colors could represent ...

Looks like it's happening: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/11/2 ... PAm9gYeySo

So, in a few years I-94 will be 6 lanes from 494/694 to 610, 8 LANES from 610 to 101, http://www.dot.state.mn.us/metro/projects/i94rogers/pdf/faq.pdf then back to six lanes through Albertville, 4 lanes to Monticello, and then back to six again to Clearwater... And they still aren't sure if they're g...

They did have streetcar stops inside the (at the time, much larger) fort, but no big stations. Of course, the bridge that carried them was much farther east than the current one; it was almost to the pentagon north central tower. And, the walls and most of the original buildings of the "historic" fo...

Maybe with the coming death of Sears, there would be the opportunity to bulldoze the east ramp and expand the mall in that direction.

Of course, they'll probably say they need $$$ to put 24th below grade...

And back in the early 90's planning of what became the mid-2000's reconstruction of 52, they looked at capping the freeway from 2nd to 6th Ave SW

Is this their Union Flats project? 217 units on the corner of Hampden and Territorial, will officially be 787 Hampden

We did have baseboards upstairs (the house was actually from 1900 and had been converted into a up/down duplex in the fifties, so the upstairs was separate until the owner before us re-combined them). Depending on how much the ductwork costs, it's probably worth knocking your electric bill in half i...

Not sure on the gravity furnace upgrade part, but just swapping out our 1950's forced air furnace and adding AC ran close to $7500 twelve years ago, and that was with me personally running the ductwork to the second floor and basement ahead of time. I can tell you the electric and gas bills in the w...
