Lots of family-friendly 2 BR units in the mix.

It's not family-friendly unless it's a mansion with at least 10 bedrooms and a cleaning staff.

The url looks like "Iowa46.com"

Do people actually get paid to design bad branding, or does this happen to save money? What degree do I need to string acronyms together?

To comment on two things: The "Maplewood Mall" station goes to the transit center and park and ride ramp in the SW corner outlot. It doesn't go directly to the mall, but it is important for transfers to other bus routes (54, 64, 80, 219, 223, express buses) and it does provide access to structured p...

Wow. They cut the entire Vision Zero section.

How progressive!

For me, I think of the Phalen Village Community Garden close to home, by Maryland Ave and Hazelwood. It certainly provides valuable green space, but it can't literally feed the neighborhood. Cano could really use a better track record of promoting helpful policy instead of feel-good solutions. There...

Yay for the potential "Cook Avenue" station for the Hmong Village shopping center!

His snark is probably for the same reason I'm snarky about urban farming. It's often a feel-good solution that takes the place of other, better solutions. A grocery store (or even a corner store) does a lot more to fix a food desert, while actual farmland outside of the city is far more efficient/ef...

No route 54 extension/E 7th aBRT?

Wenonah sounds like Winona when spoken, so there could be confusion regarding both how to spell it and which one it is.

They could have built themselves parking with the $100k+ they wasted.

It looks like they're eliminating a lot of "school trips", is that where they're getting the hours to reinstate service elsewhere?

I think you mean Swanson - Nolan - Hatch. Nominating Swanson would be the perfect way to earn a governor Pawlenty

If a major automaker bought Tesla, would it be profitable within a year? I think it would be awesome to see a Jeep/Dodge buyout of Tesla. Imagine an electric wrangler.

Plug-in hybrid wranglers are coming soon, 2020 I think.

You missed his radio interview. https://wccoradio.radio.com/articles/op ... fall-apart

I think he unironically could need some help.

Trader Joe's has tried/wanted to open a location in the South Loop (not sure if in the mall or not), but i think Bloomington has some restriction on any given company owning/operating more than 1 liquor store in their borders. Since there's already a Trader Joe's in West Bloomington, and im sure the...

I would definitely try to go! A summer picnic/happy hour as a biannual complement to the winter fundraiser.

To elucidate on that implication, more density means less infrastructure/service costs per capita, which allows us to spend more on priorities like parks. St Paul has a $50+ million maintenance backlog in their park system, and yet their parks are considered better than many other cities. If St Paul...

They should keep it, small but nice placemaking like this is what we need!
