Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
It's so wild to have followed this project for two decades and periodically have new political, professional, or computer characters emerge and assure me that, clearly, there's nothing to see here--all is well. It's a huge self-own on my part. Am I still going to be doing this in 2030? Very humbling.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
I don't use it very often without a smartphone, but every two or three months with a group we might take a bus somewhere, and then get a car home at 1:30 AM instead of waiting for a bus. If they were to pull out (which seems extremely unlikely--you'd have to think the state will preempt it) probably...

If they're trying to inch up market a bit, hopefully someone will think to buy a vacuum for the movie theater.

Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar
I don't even think it's as thought out as politicians wanting to go to a ribbon cutting or spread out money to other side of the metro. It feels like it's more about the expectation that a government of a certain size has an office full of people whose job it is to talk about transit planning stuff....

Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar
If I had to pick between this combined with the incoming huge flop of the Gold Line, and a $2.5 billion transit museum in downtown St. Paul, I'd maybe go with the museum. You could put a little train in the food court and ride it around .Ramsey County needs to get some love, so probably.

Re: Metropolitan Council
Man could you imagine a more cohesive super region. more equal transportation network, more spread out response to low income housing. Maybe even being able to equitably spread out school funding across the entire region. Obviously bigger isn't always better for bureaucracies but it could be cool I...

Re: Metropolitan Council
My actual best case scenario idea is that every unit of government in the metro area should be rolled into the Met Council, which would then be elected and coherent and understandable to normal people. A little too wacko to suggest, though.

Not that I'm the market for it, but I was surprised to see "oh, there's an Oxendale's down here?" out the train window on Saturday.

Re: Transit Crime
Like all crime data, the number is basically made up--I wouldn't worry about the chart. The situation has been steadily improving for about a year, though my personal "days since experiencing a train fiasco" counter is only at five.

Re: Northern Lights Express
No one at any level of anything is going to get in trouble for it taking five times longer and it costing five times more than it should, but a lot of people will get a piece of the delay and overrun.

Re: Transit Crime
