Re: TCF Bank Building Redevelopment

Looks like the only change they are making is to make it more difficult to get to the skyway level by removing the escalators. Oh, and filling it with IKEA furniture.

Re: Southwest LRT (Green Line Extension)

From Penn or Van White? Penn. This is going to be the most expensive stop since it will require an elevator/bridge to be built so it might be the first to go if they need to cut costs. However, it's got the support of N. Mpls community leaders since it is thought to be the best option for service f...

Re: Southwest LRT (Green Line Extension)

Re: Tower crane count

I would guess that we'll soon have the best view of tower crane's ever in Minneapolis. Imagine driving west on 94 and seeing...

-4 cranes for the stadium
-2 cranes for Wells Fargo
-1 crane for the Ryan Apartment tower
-1 crane for Latitude 45

And this is just the east side of downtown!
