Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
Yes, only two lines, but ~52 miles once both extensions are complete, which (according to Wikipedia) is comparable to Denver's LRT system which has 8 lines. If we really wanted to, we could claim 4 lines once the extensions are open by running an EP to MOA service plus Brooklyn Center to St Paul se...

Re: Work from home and road congestion
I live on the 10th floor of a 20 story and if I need to leave I use the stairs. The two times I used the elevator was to carry groceries up and I just used a Kleenex or a plastic bag to push buttons and wash my hands after

Re: CP Ford Spur to Highland Park
I appreciate the response, but I still don't see how the cost-benefit equation ever balances out in favor of rail in the Ford Spur west of 7th, especially given the vastly greater likelihood of congestion once it interlines with the mixed-traffic Riverview portion. Your map is pretty, but it's also...

Re: CP Ford Spur to Highland Park
Now that’s what I call a transit plan! Look at all those light rails connecting every suburb to both cities.

Re: High Speed Rail MSP to Rochester
Wouldn’t it make sense to have the route start in town cities and end in Chicago. It would be popular like with stops in a few cities along the way
