Seems like the Transportation Committee has pulled the December service change presentation from Monday's meeting agenda. Interestingly, they are voting to proceed with an unsolicited proposal from Metropolitan Transportation Network, Inc (a school bus operator) to operate four Metro Transit routes...

Found a packet from August about WBL station area planning. Surprisingly I found it on Nextdoor. https://www.ramseycounty.us/sites/default/files/Projects%20and%20Initiatives/Rush%20Line%20-%20White%20Bear%20Lake%20-%20Working%20Group%20-%20Meeting%203_20180814.pdf I wonder how realistic the Marina T...

Mariana Triangle is a bigger opportunity for development. Apparently Kowalski’s has mentioned that they’d be open to a new store in a mixed use building. Maybe something like Whole Foods on Snelling & Selby.

P.S. We need a thread on what our usernames means. DanPatchToget? Tmart? Or at least how you imagine your username is pronounced. This. And jobs. I'm curious if this is most people's hobby or life. The introductions thread is a good place to find what you’re looking for. If people have introduced t...

what traffic? The petition is “SAY NO to Park and Ride Bus Hub in Old Downtown White Bear Lake” and doesn’t actually reference Rush Line by name. It’s clearly someone with half info spouting off in fear of the unknown. Signature count is now just under 3k. https://www.change.org/p/mayor-whitebearla...

Question... is there a spot where I can see data about the planned WBL downtown station? I know they are thinking about a two story ramp at Clark and 2nd/3rd. A friend on Facebook is sharing a petition against it. There are currently about 2500 signers. He said his major concern is the traffic. My i...

Highlights on December Service Cuts from Transportation Committee Met Council Meeting: • Routes 263 and 270: restructure Where can I find the details on this restructure? There was another post that said it’s a frequency change. Which is it? The 270 is very full with 20 standing at times. I’d hate ...

The Maplewood Mall Transit Station was just built. Also the Maplewood Mall area is doing an area plan to create a vision for increased density and city amenities. If anything, the hospital stop should be removed.

Rush Line sent out an update tonight. Modified station plans and routing to be reviewed At its regularly scheduled meeting earlier today, the Policy Advisory Committee of the Rush Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project confirmed the project’s recommended elements – including station locations and rout...

Oh if this is ONLY regional rail, IMO there are WAY too many stops. Some of these routes seem to have more stops than the actual or planned LRT/BRT routes. Even if it is “fantasy maps” there should be a little reality.

It’s a little hard to read on my phone... but I’m wondering why you’re routing seems to miss so many points of interest?

Rosedale area, Maplewood Mall area, Woodbury Lakes, Uptown!!!, the airport!, south minneapolis, the purple loop doesn’t go downtown Minneapolis, etc.

I think it's interesting. I think it would be a good fit for the neighborhood.

How many conversions have happened in the last 5 years? Has the downtown St Paul population doubled yet? What would it take to get the downtown population to a point were it actually feels like there is added demand for additional things like restaurants, coffee shops, groceries, etc that people dow...

Article about the 3 stops in WBL http://www.presspubs.com/white_bear/news/article_683b3952-aba9-11e8-8f32- My observations: -calling only the downtown stop a “Station” and the others “are really just platforms” it’s worded in a way that feels negative. - Downtown Station would include a 280 stall pa...

I know Forest Lake, White Bear Lake and Minnetonka see a lot of fishermen. Depends what you're looking for.

Tonight Maplewood held a kickoff open house event for the North End Vision Plan. https://maplewoodmn.gov/1877/North-End-Vision-Plan I’m surprised by the 9 month project schedule for creating the plan. That seems relatively short. Although, I hope it means that they can get the ball rolling on some p...

Is “industrial ruins” of today what the “mill district” was before it? Keep this stuff around to add character? Similar to reusing silos.
