Re: Blue Line (Hiawatha LRT)

If your final destination is West Bank station and you're starting somewhere south on the Blue Line, you're much better off getting off the train at Cedar-Riverside and walking the final quarter mile.

Re: Blue Line (Hiawatha LRT)

Yesterday was a first for me: I rode from MOA to West Bank Station with a Blue to Green Line transfer at Downtown East. Waiting to get in to DTE on the Blue Line did feel like an eternity. Usually I bike to work and go north/south through 4th and Chicago. The light timings at that intersection used ...

Re: 26th / 28th Streets in South Minneapolis

As someone who occasionally rides a bike on Blaisdell, the stop sign at 28th and Blaisdell was in the way of the bike lane but otherwise did a great job at calming traffic at the intersection of two busy one way streets.

Re: Minneapolis Fiber
