Plymouth – General Topics
Old offices proposed by Doran for 416 units near Fernbrook and TH55.

Seems this is a big deviation from the city’s comp plan for the site in use and density.

Re: Minnesota State Flag and Seal Redeisgn
Some people actually think it looks like Somalia's flag? :? Just put them together and you'll see they aren't similar in any way besides both of them having a star. My brother remarked that he felt the tricolor was a knock-off worse version of the Jubaland flag, and that it was clearly borrowed fro...

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
I think there were lost opportunities in the Cedar Lake Trail reconstruction to do a separation of pedestrian from cyclist trails. There were some sections that had room to build sections where walkers could have parallel separation, but seems engineers hoovered up all that to excavate storm water t...
