Anyone know if this is a ceremonial groundbreaking or the real thing. If I were to go up to the parking garage tomorrow afternoon, you think I would be able to get some pictures of anything actually occurring? Either way this is awesome! It’s so interesting how NEBL Seems to have had no problem with...

Perhaps it's time for transit advocates to shift from pushing for individual projects, to pushing for reform that will allow these projects to get up and running under a reasonable timeframe. It's no wonder we don't have the political will for these projects when five gubernatorial terms separate t...

Why does this stuff take so long? Is it a permiting issue, or money?

I saw the new office building proposal go before the committee of the whole, but has it gone before the planning commission in general?

I share an appreciation for the ~urban feel~ of a street between 12 story buildings. But also, winter days here are short. My last place was just north of the freeway and I really enjoyed a dose of sun as I walked home from the bus in the evening. My perception from looking at shading diagrams is t...

I feel bad for anyone who Ray now lives in that small apartment building. That’s going to absolutely suck during construction

I was thinking about the E line yesterday. There currently redoing Hennepin Avenue from 31st St. to 36 street. It would’ve been the ideal time to upgrade bus facilities to support Arterial bus rapid transit. My only concern with extending the E line all the way to the University of Minnesota is the ...

I’ve done some brief reading of the Minneapolis 2040 comprehensive plan. I am extremely pleased. I want to know what others think about this, it looks like Minneapolis is finally starting to move towards a form based code. Especially with their latest addition of the comprehensive plan. I noticed th...

This topic came up over on the arterial bus rapid transit thread. Hoping one of the module move it to this thread. Someone on the other thread mentioned that the city wants to invest in the street car for development potential. Does anybody know the history of development around modern street cars? ...

I was the one to start the talk about street cars. If any mods want to move post post 234 to 243 to a different topic, totally understand.

I could be wrong, but wasn’t Emerson where the entrance to the parking is supposed to be?

Maybe someone on the form can explain this to me. I really don’t understand why the Nickolet/Central Streetcar is a thing. Based on my understanding, streetcars do not really speed up transit. I do not believe Street cars work with signal priority. It just surprises me. I feel like the Nicklett Ave....

Getting that store to go into Victoria’s Secret would be awesome!

More speculation: what about Uniqulo. It’s that Chinese store. Minneapolis could really use one of those.

I would love to see a culvers in uptown. I just hope they can make it an urban style culvers. Maybe not have a drive-through, or if they do need a drive-through, put the drive-through underground. Not exactly sure that even possible, but I know they were doing something similar to that near 42nd and...

Good to see this one moving forward.

Anyone know when the developer intends on breaking ground?

Anyone think this building will be demolished before the spring of next year?

I thought they were having to scale this project back because of a funding problem. Were they able to come up with the necessary funding through a different means? If not, what parts of the project were scaled back? I hope they still kept the proposed escalator entrance into the mall. It’s going to ...

The first phase of apartments seem to be coming along really nice. I was over there a few weeks ago and got some good pictures. Anybody know when the new ABE building is scheduled to open? I am very eager to see the old one demolished and replaced with something more urban friendly. In regards to th...
