urbanMSP

I think that about sums it up.
I'd agree with the Sunday alcohol, but didn't we pass that against strong alcohol lobby opposition??

Wicked.

but for the few that think it's about bikes vs. cars.

Bikes vs cars? I think the car would win.

Better than running them over.

A little hyperbole- Don't have to be so 'concrete'

Start video and start adding-Bridges, including a 3000 footer? Tunnels? Even if you call them 'under-crossings' it's still going to be wildly expensive

One billion? At all that, it'd end up costing more than the space shuttle

At one time, there was pics of original 'vision' for the walkway liked, IIRC, to Minnescraper- It included little stores/kiosks and such all along walkway.

It is physically central to Minneapolis campus, and view can't be beat

problem is, more stops= more time for one's commute, this lessens attractiveness of line.
Noticed streetcar rails on girard north of lake- it'd make sense to have rails off hennepin one block so traffic isn't another hwy 55 standstill

Drove from Rice to across Washington Ave Bridge.
Was surprised, after reading updates and % complete, how much remained; lotsa dirt, West of 280 and East of Lexington.

Can figure why Washington avenue bridge even remained open, only entrance was in middle of campus

It's down and looks really weird now

dug out some utility's today, aluminum siding must've got recycled, sign posted for public hearing at town Hall on 21st IIRC
NOT liking parking lot idea

sure been covered before, but any talk of extending the line (south, that is)?????

Are they ever going to get NexTrip on these things?

Don't see the point. Trains (generally) run on time- IIRC, exceptions are listed on station marquees

My understanding is they are at mercy of weather, even moreso than fixed wing aircraft- I'm not sure what you do when high winds come up and you're a few hundred miles from your hangar. Reading History of Hindenburg, it got went out (ill-advised) once and suffered damage from winds- besides the obvi...

2120

it is not a hsr study.

Dis-Like

and all-weather, all situation (Trains still ran on 9/11/01) Same-day service is essential between the cities- If a machine is down at your factory, it's costing you thousands of dollars an hour, and the parts in Chicago .... Now you throw it on a plane for $$$ or $$$$- So it's not just personnel th...

Is there a thread on the I-35 transit access project (and 94 interchange)?
Assume there must be and I missed it

Bah Ha Ha!!!

Seen one on Franklin where solar panel placed under a tree!

And that 4 minutes is a big deal when its such a pointless waste of time.

I'm not sure what he was referring to there ...
Obviously time is the name of the game in transit (unless we're touring the Alps).
