I'm not too disappointed with the chosen routing. I think it will offer great interurban connections with future build outs of the LRT system. There are a lot of people who live off Olson Memorial who are transit dependent and with the SW Corridor connections to Bryn-mar, Harrison and the job corrid...

EuropaCity, a giant new green development outside of Paris http://www.gizmag.com/europacity-big/27114/ Noticed the public artwork looks familiar, renders show the Chicago Bean and our very own Spoonbridge and Cherry

I like it, it's deffinately going to shore up the wall of buildings along 4th street and make more of a stark contrast between the DT core and the gateway district. Now if only we could get a park over there...

Well... They won't have much reason to go onto the patio now that their view of downtown is gone.

And by non-public BKV means the sides of the building that will be visible to the residence of Riverside Plaza. So, they'd rather give them a concrete slab to look at everyday from their windows than something moderately nice? I'd rather leave it open grass than let BKV build a new graffiti wall on ...

I'd like to see that same hi-speed video but from the vantage point of a car on hwy 10 at rush hour on the way into downtown. I wonder witch one would be faster...

I saw the three car train the other evening with all its blue lights burning magesticly as it sped off into the dark night.

Likewise, I would be in support of some kind of traffic pattern change. I wonder if there would be a way to seperate Hennepin and Lyndale all together, have them cross at ether Grovland, Vinland or somewhere in between. The alignment I'm thinking would work is keep Lyndale on the west side of 94 and...

Yeah, I give it 5 years and the corridor will have a vastly different feel. I can't wait to see this one go up!

So did you guys hear that due to higher insurance costs they've had to do a minor redesign to some of the ammenitys to save some money. Instead of having the pool on the roof they're going to just leave it in the basement...

Just goes to show they've learned how to polish a turd.

Could you add an extension up to Broadway and Lyndale? A stop right there would fill a massive void in the transit sphere for the city. I've raised this idea a few times on this website and frankly I'm surprised/disappointed it's received little to no intrest or discussion on any of these threads. A...

Yeah! What ever happened to composition? Comp is a major player in what makes art deco so appealing and other great works of architecture. I'm not saying you can't have good architecture without a properly composed site so long as it's intentional rather than overlooked.

Does this mean AT&T's service will get even worse?!

It just occured to me that I would be in favor of expanding or rebuilding the Lowery tunnel not soaly for freeway expansion, but it would provide the perfect opportunity to redesign the Hennepin/Lyndale bottleneck. I know it would be even more expensive but it would bolster the economic vitality of ...

Minnesota state regulation's require limos to be more expensive than taxi's and to pick up passengers through prearranged pick-up's, meaning it's illegal for those town car drivers to steal fares from taxi's outside restaurants and hotels. It would also be a shame if everyone who use's Uber doesn't ...

Not a destination rich area yet. This bridge will be around for a long time and it will help anchor the north end of Mississippi river redevelopment that the city's been pushing for. Give it time.

I like how they incorporate the posts at the base of the archways in the rendering to reassure us this will not be used as an amazing jump for city buses or people people fleeing the police.

There are no more plans for LRT. After Southwest and Bottineau get built, that's it. If the lines aren't on a Met Council map by now they aren't happening for a long time. We will actually just have 2 light rail lines in the Twin Cities, since Southwest is an extension of the Green Line (Central Co...

Unfortunately, the more successful the rail services are, the worse the Interchange will be for bus riders. That's because the Interchange is a logical transfer point from Southwest and Bottineau at least to Northside buses. These services will come in from the west and this is the first point they...
