Re: Highland Bridge: Ford Site Redevelopment
Looking forward to it! Do you know when people will be able to walk along the new creek?

Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar
Absolutely not. Haven't we learned our lesson about routing highways along the riverfront? That would be a disaster. Shepard is too wide as is.

Re: Dismantling Downtown Freeways
If you ignore the particulate matter and toxic chemicals, constant noise pollution, severed neighborhood connectivity and induced traffic that spills over onto neighborhood streets, living next to urban freeways is swell. I agree that land bridges are an expensive remedy, which is why highway to bou...

Re: Nicollet-Central Streetcar
I actually like this project. Rail bias among casual transit riders is real and this corridor is much better suited for frequent transit than the oft-mentioned failed streetcars in other cities. The draft transportation action plan is set to release soon and I'd guess it will shed light on whether o...

Re: Target Field Station (the Hotel) & Target Field Station (the Station)
1. No, we should not have gas stations downtown. You can fill up literally anywhere else.
2. The best way to get these sites redeveloped is a land value tax.

Re: Federal Reserve Riverfront Parking Ramp
Not surprising, but the Fed appealed this afternoon, so it's headed to Zoning & Planning and then the full council. I've started to get the sense that this project has elevated the topic of parking and its climate implications into the public conversation. If you share the opinion that this ramp...

Re: Demolition of West Publishing / old jail
It's interesting how image of the buildings in the Star Tribune article doesn't have the spire that was in the Biz Journal one. I noticed that as well. AECOM proposed two different densities for the office phase of their plan. I believe that the one with the spire is the bigger version, with the of...

Re: 800 Washington Ave S (Guthrie Ramp liner development: Reloaded)
I hadn't seen this rendering of the AECOM proposal before. It was included the The Journal's article: http://www.journalmpls.com/news/development/2018/07/four-developers-eye-guthrie-liner-parcel/ While I like the Sherman proposal, I think this one stands tall above the rest. It is so different than ...

Re: Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
Large scale hydroelectric projects often cause more environmental damage than benefit. Not only do they completely alter the river ecosystem, but the rotting vegetation trapped in the stagnant pools emits a significant amount of methane, which is about 30 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than C...

Figured this was the most relevant thread to post this in.

Re: Alatus Residential Project - 228 South 12th Street (32 stories - ~348'/405')
Does anyone know if the Target-esque video board feature ended up being included in the approved design?
