Re: Hopkins - General Topics
I noticed MNDOT’s project for Excelsior and 169 says it will eliminate free right turns. I wonder if this will be all four or just some. As long as the right turn from southbound 169 to westbound Excelsior is eliminated, it will be a great change. Drivers coming off 169 going west are so often still...

Uber/Lyft
I had no idea some Uber/Lyft drivers were driving Hertz rentals, which Hertz is demanding be returned?

Re: Interstate 94
Regarding the near proximity of TH100 to US169 to I-494 (from Eden Prairie to Maple Grove)… TH100 began life as the Belt Line, originally intended to be a ring highway around both downtowns, authorized in 1934. Eventually the New Deal funded a lot of the construction as a sort of destination parkway...

Re: Grandview District - Edina
The Trilogy development at Blake and Excelsior is unsubsidized full market rate and has four ground floor retail spaces. Though in comparison, the 325 Blake is being subsidized for affordable housing and only one building (that has not been started) will have ground floor retail. The site has separa...

Re: Hopkins - General Topics
Have they finalized plans for the new bike trail/lane on 17th from excelsior to hw7? Won't be another 8th ave but assuming they didn't choose the painted lanes that might be ambitious. Still say Hopkins could use a better trail along excelsior blvd (yes I know we have the cedar lake but it's good t...

Re: Hopkins - General Topics
Does Hopkins have any plans to build more streets like the bikeway from Mainstreet to the LRT station? Not exactly that amazing. At the Blake Road station, there will be a street connector linking Pierce to Blake passing by the station. It is pretty car-focused. The Trilogy development at Blake/Exc...

Re: Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.
Don’t know when it was updated but Apple Maps updated the metro’s 3D map out as far as the western border of Hennepin and out to Victoria and Carver (the town) It used to be only as far west as, like, Methodist Hospital. Downtown Hopkins for instance shows the current state of the LRT station and th...

Re: Metropolitan Council
The list of positions to vote for was getting my temper going. Out in Hopkins here I was trying to think if there were much differences, we get to vote for the Three Rivers Park commissioner. We don’t get a vote for the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District or Nine Mile Creek which are appointed by the...

Nick, I found your Minnesota Reformer post very good. I was probably already agreeing with it so this might be my confirmation bias speaking. But good stuff.

Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar
I think for PR and public acceptance they should list the bridge cost separately. We’ve seen how much bridges and tunnels have the highest likelihood to explode coasts. Continuing of lumping the entire project in one lump sum is doing damage to public approval of expansion of mass transit. Similar t...
