Where is this taking place? Would love to go.

If driverless vehicles become a thing in the near future, I would hope that the companies around theses stations will use this mode for shuttling people from the rail to the employment. If also feel that It will be critical to ensure that each station has bike share. The employment centers also need...

Can people from the general public go see the ground breaking?

To answer your question about trip generation around the southwest part of the lake, from my experience taking the bus to Southdale frequently, I can honestly say that I don’t see many people getting on in that area.

I see your point about extending it to the Southwest light rail station and then preceding down Excelsior to France. I take the six very frequently from 36 Street in Hennepin. Personally, I would hate to see there be no bus service on Hennepin Avenue from uptown to 36 street. Even right now, the fre...

When do the planning Commission approvals expire?

I don’t mind the designs. It’s nice that none of the parking is fronting the street.

This may be a repetitive question, so if it is I apologize. I was riding the bus pass this site today, and I noticed that buses are still using the parking lot as the turnaround area. Where will the turnaround area be once the development begins construction?

You mean they would have to have additional parking for the store, or are you talking about the ramp and general?

Not bad at all. I like the architecture and how building looks. With all the people moving into this area, I wonder if it would be advantageous to put a convenience store or something on the bottom floor. The development is so close to the train station, it would be kind of cool to have a convenienc...

Does anyone know if there is a WebCam for this project?

How do you search for things on the farm website? I use Tapatalk on the iPhone. Whenever I put anything into the search box, it says nothing found.

Would be nice if the building could break ground with in the next couple weeks. I’m not sure how often groundbreakings happen in the winter. I would assume that since the ground is frozen, it makes things a little more difficult.

I did not know that hotels can be built in spec. Thanks for the info. I might be mistaken, but I believe that construction trailer has been there for a while.

I’m skeptical. You would think that we would know the name of the hotel before they start building it.

Since they have not namedof a hotel, I’m guessing that this project is still a far distance from groundbreaking. I have the same sentiments as the person who was talking about a missed opportunity near the corner of Hennepin. It would have been nice to get some retail, even if small. I seriously jus...

Who exactly is the hotel? Do we know if they have secured a agreement with four seasons? I thought I remember them saying that they weren’t going to do the hotel, now it looks like they are?

Off-topic: I keep seeing them planning for a streetcar and Nickolet. I maintain my position. Nicolette [sic] [sic] doesn’t need a street car. If anything, Nickolet needs bus rapid transit. Even if the streetcar part gets built, what exactly are they proposing? Is the thought that the streetcar would...

That’s kind of what I was thinking as well. That the project may transition to residential.

Knowing nothing about market trends, I feel like a condominium building would be nice here. I’m thinking a building with ground floor retail, of course.

Went by today and got some pictures.


Picture of one: looking west from Nicollet Avenue. The Jersey barriers are up around the 1500 block of nickel it.
