This project will allow the addition of multi-use paths from 81st to ...

Re: Transit Crime

People using Fent is caused by a clear and ever present ennui. Throwing people in jail or being somehow more punitive isnt going to change that. Sucks that there isnt a silver bullet.

Re: Transit Crime

Metro Transit hired back Steve Hutchinson. If there is a law enforcement professional that knows about getting intoxicated in government owned vehicles, it's that guy. He hasn't just studied and observed it, he's lived it.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)

Americans live in segregated neighborhoods, drive alone, and work among the economically likeminded. They are often unaware of problems like drugs, homelessness and poverty. So when they ride transit its one of the only times they see that and think its somehow unique to transit.

Re: 2023-24 Minnesota Legislature

Quite a bit less than that if they were legally allowed to include inflation on the expense side of the ledger , which they absolutely should. It probably goes without saying, but the DFL will need to be pretty careful in terms of how much is one-time spending (capital projects, tax refunds, etc.) ...

Hes a white shoe lawyer, he knows how to keep enough distance as to not be caught up.

This seems bad. I am not surprised that Frey, his wife, Osman and enthusiastic Frey supporters are involved.

Re: Minneapolis Population / Density - General Discussion

New home builders are absolutely determined to not be caught with inventory. Obviously they cannot abandon suburbs, they are quickly turning off the spigot. The commitment is one of convenience. I have a feeling that a cohort of hopeful homebuyers will be renters for at least the near term until eit...

Re: Minneapolis City Politics General Discussion

So Frey is 90% likely to run in 2024 for MN CD-05? He's not well liked but he will have a lots of conservative and powerful backers.

Omar will need to actually run a campaign to win against Jake. Will be spicy either way.

Call it a combination cattle drive / transit lane and MAK would be the loudest, most ardent supporter.
