Re: Ward 10
Uber last minute, but there is a happy hour meet & greet event for Ward 10 candidate Lisa Bender at Uptown Cafeteria tonight at 5:30pm. Myself and possibly a few other UrbanMSPers will be in attendance.

Re: Mayoral Race
Everything MNdible just said. The Republican Party platform is incompatible with the reality of what central cities need. I think you guys are focusing too much on party identification in a race that technically is non-partisan. If I were to run, I would have to seek the DFL nomination to win, not t...

Re: 2316-2320 Colfax Apartments
Also, this is going before the PC CoW tomorrow (3/6) and won't be acted upon by the Planning Commission until 3/18 at the earliest, so I guess it hasn't been approved after all.

Re: Uptown Projects Map
Seems angled in this 1969 aerial: http://geo.lib.umn.edu/Hennepin_County/ ... KK-172.jpg
The geometry is a little different, without the smooth curve for WB traffic, but the idea is the same. It looks like the Arby's site was just surface parking.

Re: Loring Park Apartments - (1368 LaSalle Avenue)
I assume that's just a working title/acronym for Loring Park Magellan. Something this significant and high end will almost certainly have a more memorable name.

Re: Uptown Projects Map
I did a little digging around Hennepin County tax records today, trying to figure out who owns the various surface parking lots and otherwise under-developed parcels around Uptown. Here are some that I found of interest: 1. According to Hennepin County tax records, Roundy's (Rainbow) owns the Arby's...

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor
I'm coming around to the idea of a shorter streetcar line to tie the densest nodes together. I just wish it didn't come at the expense of rapid bus (actually 10x the expense of rapid bus, har). Lake Street to a loop around Hennepin/1st Ave NE sounds about right. I still like Rapid Bus for the larger...

Re: Green Line (Central)
I got the feeling that Metro Transit doesn't want to return to Washington until the work is really, really done. They don't want to mess around going back on detour, off detour, etc. The current detour has been in effect for so long now, it's probably the norm for most students. I think they will wa...

Re: 2316-2320 Colfax Apartments
I think RailBaron's point isn't that we shouldn't have neighborhood meetings and/or democracy, but that we shouldn't have to go through all of this hand-wringing, time-wasting bullshit for every single development proposal in the city. Especially not for really good proposals like this that aren't e...
