I don’t know exactly how feasible this would be, but what about running shuttles from the C ramp over to the building? I’ve thought about this with a lot of office developments in downtown. If you could run shuttles, people wouldn’t need to park so close to where they work. Walking five blocks can b...

Glad to hear this one is still working its way through the planning/preconstruction process. Hopefully construction starts on this one sometime next year. I always worry that we’re going to be hit with an economic slowdown, and some of these great developments won’t happen. Sent from my iPhone using...

That last point, the one about a smart developer adding a convenient store to the bottom level of the building, is especially important to me. I don’t live in the neighborhood, but when I do venture up there on the light rail, it’s always nice to know that there is a gas station fairly close to targ...

I think I have asked this before, and maybe there’s not anyone out there who has a good answer for me, but I want to dig more into transit ridership numbers. We live in the modern day of technology. Where do I go to find out what the ridership trends have been over the past six months on a specific ...

Maybe some of these buildings will eventually be taken down and replaced with more mixed use establishments.

I know this is it in the right topic, so feel free to put it in the place it belongs.

Does anyone know when the oldies will be opening at 26th and Lindale? Went by the building on the bus today and the outside looks mostly complete.

Not to be a Debbie downer, because I’m really excited about this project. I’ve walked by the area so many times and always find myself asking, when are they going to do something with this. This is really exciting! Even though the site is a parking lot, and should not take that long to get the neces...

This ramp should have been wrapped in housing with significant ground floor retail. Had that happened, I would have no problem being OK with this ramp. A good example I can think of off the top of my head is some of the new Bloomington Central Station Apartments, although they did not add enough ret...

I’ve been asking myself about this project for a while. It just seems to be taking forever. I wasn’t sure if that was just me.

How tall is this building? The title of the thread says that it’s 48 stories tall, but the post up thread says 41 stories.

That’s awesome! Can’t wait for it to be finished. It’s supposed to be finished at the end of July or August, correct? It will be so nice not having to look at that ugly monstrosity that currently is the transit center. It will also be a much smoother transition from the light rail to the mall. Sent ...

Got some pictures of the construction work at the new Mall of America transit station this morning. Where exactly will the new escalator from the mall of America transit station to the interior of the mall be located? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190621/740bd77f4143d916f26ba53859bda044.jpg htt...

So they just started work on the Hennepin Avenue reconstruction from Washington Avenue to12 street. Last year they worked on the portion that runs through the Lyndale Hennepin convergence. There is a gap between these two projects. What about the portion from 12th St. to 16th St.? It’s a little over...

It would be great to have more office space, but I don’t know if the market could take it right now. I would imagine that it will either end up being luxury apartments or condos. I’m guessing that the area is zoned for very high density because of it’s proximity to downtown and to the train station....

I strongly agree. I wish our region would more seriously consider piecemeal expansions as money becomes available, with simpler planning and without federal money, and then using those investments as the local "match" for federal dollars when they reach that threshold. Or not, frankly. Cutting out ...

Do the most recent state drivers test manuals cover these type of bike signals? Our bikes signal standardized throughout the country, or do the different cities have different types of signals?

As a follow-up question related to the different color of pavement between pedestrian walking area and biking area, does anyone know if that is the plan along Hennepin Avenue from Washington Avenue to 12 street?

I happen to be walking along Washington Avenue between Hennepin Avenue and fifth Avenue. It looks absolutely beautiful. They did a really good job on the redesign. It definitely makes the pedestrian feel more safe while walking along a busy street. I like that the bike way pavement is color differen...

This is bordering on fantasy map discussion, but since it relates specifically to the blue line, I’m going to put it here. Anyone out there good at drawing fantasy maps? Could anyone dry up some maps of alternative alignments? I don’t think we would end up with a tunnel. Minneapolis seems to be agai...

So what exactly are the freight real companies throwing a fit about? In simple terms.
