Re: Future cars / Driverless cars

So Hennepin County is interested in autonomous vehicles in a general sense, and MNDOT has this vehicle that they're making available to any local governments to try things out. Hennepin county was involved with the Super Bowl demo, but they just want to test it in some slightly more realistic condit...

For maybe the only time in my life, I agree with MNdible. I think you're all reading way too much into this particular thing.

Re: Future cars / Driverless cars

I will say, as a board member of the MGC: Would that resolution from 1999 prevent operations of these small buses too? I think that running them would take away the usage from Pedestrians and Bicyclists. Midtown Rail should be a priority once SWLRT is built! The MGC is not a government entity, we do...

Re: Condo Rental Caps: Economics and Equity

There are some issues with FHA loans when a building is above a certain percent renter, which could explain part of the drop in price. They're harder to get financing for.

Re: Bottineau LRT (Blue Line Extension)

It gave the TV news an opportunity to interview a Republican and let him talk about how LRT is a Bad Investment so there's that.

Geberding is seriously really bad at this, it's amazing he's built as many buildings as he has, but he just needs to find some easier projects to work on or just retire already.

The Zoning & Planning Committee will hear the appeal and recommend granting or denying the appeal, and then the full council votes on it.

Re: Public Transit News and Current Happenings

It's very telling that despite being part of the Metro branding, it's not a part of the Hi-Frequency network because it doesn't run often enough. I really think Metro Transit needs to redefine their "Metro" standards to include high frequency service, because when paired with the Blue and ...

Excavation could be completed with a steam shovel and wood cribbing, but they clearly didn't see that as an option.

As someone that lives a block away from an Aldi, I go in 3-4 times a week on my way home from work and pick up 4 or 5 things while I'm there.

What would happen if she stepped down as Lt. Gov? If she's still President of the Senate as she claims, then the next in line of succession would be... her. She can't have her cake and eat it too.
