According to South Uptown newsletter the empty lot is now being designed for 120 affordable unit with construction in 2024. Great that they are affordable but a huge bummer that it seems to have gotten downsized quite a bit. Maybe I am wrong and they want to do a lot of 3 and 4 bedroom units which w...

They have finally taken the first layer of concrete barrier and fence around the 5th precinct building so the sidewalk and bus stop should be open fully again soon.

that is where lyndale liquors is building their new store

This road grinding they did on 394 6 years ago seems to have reduced tire noise by 47% so why is this not something MNDot has talked about doing for 35w or highway 62?

I am happy to report that less than 24 hours after the new signs warning drivers not to hit the new concrete medians protecting the bike lanes on Blaisdell went in, the sign on the south side of 35th has been hit and was bent over, blocking the pedestrian crossing. I went by again, just an hour lat...

love the fact that one of their home page images has what appears to be a mountain view out the front door

looks like the golf course is saying no to any sale at all

I was looking at the map for the orange line and I was wondering if anyone knew why they didn't or couldn't even now add stations on the on and off ramps at diamond lake road. Seems like it would server a large population to add a station there.

I remember seeing somewhere that St. Thomas was looking at the possibility of putting a stadium on the land that is owned by canadian pacific that is actually "inside" the ford site redevelopment at the south east end.

biggest disappointment is it looks like they are turning the girard pedestrian promenade into a service road for the grocery store and parking ramp. Maybe they will be able to spruce it up a bit and make it nice but who knows. Otherwise this would be really nice

That's actually pretty cool as it looks like it was originally slated to just be a surface park and ride lot for the light rail
