Re: Coronavirus / COVID-19 Discussion
Miami is no longer bringing the average down, so it was just delayed. Dade County now has 10,000 cases and 200+ deaths. Broward County has another 4,000 cases and 100+ deaths. Those numbers are well above average per capita.

Re: Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
From what I understand, it's purely from a socially distancing perspective. Bikers are mostly distanced anyway, and there aren't as many of them. So this just gives pedestrians a bunch of room to spread out.

Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
There is also the possibility that we've been worse at testing than other areas and are just missing many people who are infected. In terms of just raw tests per capita, we are roughly middle of the pack, but it is possible they have been distributed less optimally than others.

The Central (2nd Ave & 35th St) was market-rate, I believe? Though that is only technically east of 35W.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Is it? It feels like going out to a restaurant is a direct contradiction to the official medical/epidemiological advice. It's a virus, not omnipresent radioactivity. It still requires an exposure. By maintaining more than the CDC-recommended physical distance, one renders that necessary exposure ev...

Agreed. Being able to confer with colleagues directly, and have spontaneous interactions and conversations is very helpful to both my actual work and my sanity.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
NYTimes wrote about the national decline in bus ridership: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/13/upshot/mystery-of-missing-bus-riders.html Analysis shows the decline is largely coming from upper middle class whites. Ride shares seem to be the largest factor, though bike shares and bike ridi...

Re: MPS Comprehensive District Design
Where are those numbers? In the map posted above, the boundaries for Washburn are getting smaller (losing area to the South and East, and not gaining any extra area anywhere), so how would the population increase? Second link fehler posted, if you scroll down through the article. Oh yeah, those are...

Re: MPS Comprehensive District Design
I also find the idea that they would deliberately make Washburn more overcrowded than it already is to be bizarre, but according to the numbers they provided, that's what they're going to do. It doesn't make any sense if they're already changing all of the high school boundaries anyway. Where are t...

Re: MPS Comprehensive District Design
This isn't integration though. We already struggle with diversity in the schools; with this plan we'll have even less. Where are you getting that info from? That is a genuine question. I'm still trying to figure out what it will all mean. But from what I have seen, each elementary school will be mo...

It's possible something is happening, but those seem unrelated. Dragon Wok had no seating, and really wanted to have a sit-down portion of their space. So they upgraded to a much bigger facility. City Market had been struggling and the last time I was in their the clerk told me it was only a matter ...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
There are many external factors though. 18 years ago, The North Loop and Washington Ave hardly existed as drinking/dining destinations Target (and other large employers) were far more loose with expensing lunches/drinks.

Re: Role of Visitors and Spaces for them in Cities
During the Super Bowl I spoke to several people who said they would not have come here if it weren't for the event, but were impressed enough that they were planning on coming back in warmer weather to revisit the area and check things out. I'd be very curious to see how many people actually do com...

Sidenote though. It seems like the time left on the Wells Fargo data center may be limited. Looks like there are eyes on it for redevelopment. Dear god I hope so.

Agreed with alexschief. That sidewalk design is worse than an optimal future vision, for sure, but it's better than what is currently there!
