Why didn’t they make all of the Orange line stations inline station? How much time is going to be wasted exiting and re-entering the freeway?

According to the map, it doesn’t look like people are parking them in the hubs. I still don’t fully understand the idea of the hum. In my opinion, I feel like it contradicts the whole idea of dockless share.

I would be curious to see an experiment that would last about one or two months. Making public transit in Minneapolis free and see what happens to ridership.

I think the elimination of metro transit fares would be a great thing. My only concern is where would we find that extra 30% of funds necessary to make up for the fares.

Getting rid of the Metro Transit police is a horrible idea.

I saw one the other day near Franklin 18th. The hubs are just painted lines on the sidewalk.

Edit: 18th and Nickolet.

Is there a way for us common folk to know if something has been administratively extended? That makes sense about city club Apartments, I’ve been racking my head about that.

Looking back the forms, it’s been about two years since this went before the planning commission. I would assume that the approval’s have expired.

I like the warehouse feel. I am not that concerned about it not having enough units for downtown. I personally like these five or six story developments. They make really good infill projects. I’m not exactly sure how, but the street frontage could maybe be a little better. I’m just happy to see den...

I thought the initial rollout was going to be 500 stations. That article states only 150 stations. That tells me that most the stations will probably be in downtown and uptown, and will not serve many residential areas.

What happens if people don’t park in the virtual stations? 150 virtual stations don’t seem like many.

I’m not sure exactly what they mean by “share” If the tracks are shared with freight rail and light rail, will that not mean that light rail is always stuck behind freight trains? No way these companies would give light rail the right-of-way. Am I totally misunderstanding what they mean by Share? Se...

So this is only gotten as far as the committee of the whole, correct? There might still be some design changes.

Could someone paste a link to the city of Minneapolis planning commission documents for the new office building? I can’t seem to find them.

Are they trying to save something? What’s preventing them from just knocking it down?

Saw the map of the field the other day. It definitely looks cool. Still looking forward to seeing more apartment development around the stadium.

According to this article, the developer plans on breaking ground in October. Anyone know if that timeline still accurate? The article was published in the Star Tribune May 2018.
