Re: Future Cars: Electric and Autonomous Vehicles

They probably don't look at it like this but electric is a million times better for doomsday crowd. You can charge it with a simple solar panel setup. Fuel goes bad, and runs out.

Re: Future Cars: Electric and Autonomous Vehicles

ehh on that. Obviously some of these design decisions are bad, but I think the design is a mixed bag compared to other trucks. Not sure what the result will be but it easily could be safer for pedestrians compared to other big ass trucks. -significantly lower and sloping hood line which should help ...

Re: Nicollet-Lake - greater Kmart area

The diagonal path option is the obvious winner, its the only choice that creates spaces remotely interesting/inviting.

Re: MPS Comprehensive District Design

(especially so given student performance in MPS).
Also, as an aside, this comment is exactly wrong in my opinion. The same kids who score poorly on testing are the same kids who cost more money to educate.

Re: MPS Comprehensive District Design

The per pupil costs are always just general fund expenditures. This is true across the board... The $976 million for MPS includes everything-- capital projects fund, debt service fund, food service, etc. So yeah MPS is spending more than other districts, but not nearly to the extent that's being imp...

Or else we could fund the police enough that they can make traffic violations illegal again and go back up to 90,000 traffic stops a year.

Re: Minneapolis Street Design

It opens up the bike lane to parking/CenturyLink trucks/moving vans/whatever. That's really my only concern.

The only way this street works well in a *bad* winter is with priority snow removal.

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT

I’d choose the east of 94 alignment and 21st Ave transitway options. There’s so much more development potential between 94 and the river than along that particular stretch of Lyndale, not to mention serving a higher number of jobs that exist today. That and the neighborhoods along Lyndale not wanti...

Re: Suburbs - General Topics

I agree with your final comment, which brings up the idea that if your company is in the suburbs you're going to attract a bunch of reactionaries. Ive never thought about that before but those tentacles have to reach deep into every aspect of the business which is-- interesting.

I totally agree. I think constancy is important as a user but even more so because inconsistency leads to drivers doing stupid shit.

Re: Uptown-LynLake-Wedge - News & General Topics

Yep, I would guess a normal city target (80K sq ft) somewhere around here would be viable. Wonder if one was considered at Seven Points? Or the k-mart parcel seems logical...
