Re: Knollwood Mall - St. Louis Park
The mall is still very busy. Off the top of my head it has inside the mall part Kohls, Panara Bread Co., a furniture store?, Foss swim school, GNC, some sort of moble shop, TJ Maxx, and Applebees. I even might have missed a couple. It is in a high traffic area. I just hope when ever they do figure o...

Knollwood Area - St. Louis Park
I have been hearing for over a year now that they are going to "gut" this mall and turn it into a sort of strip mall. This seems like an ambitious idea. I ran into the former mall manager the other day and asked him if apts or condos are going to be added above the shops. He said "Aft...

Re: The Interchange (At Target Field)

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor
I love trains, as are most of the rest of those on this board I think. However I just feel like since we got rid of the street cars over fifty years ago what sence does it make to bring them back? Reading all the pros it seems to be act like a bus only with out the abilty to switch lanes. Really if ...

Re: Shakopee Rail?
I love this idea. The tracks and space are pretty much all there. However I just do not know the commuter patterns in the area really well and really doubt to many people live in Shakopee and work in down town St. Paul. I would prefer this train go to MPLS first then continue into StP. I wonder if M...

Re: Green Line (Central)
I agree completely. The best part is that much of that wouldn't actually have to be underground. West Lake to Hennepin would be in the trench, and you could cut and cover one of the residential streets (like Dupont or Bryant) rather than expensive deep bore or f***ing up Hennepin or Lyndale. THIS i...

Re: Loring Park Apartments - (1368 LaSalle Avenue)
Yeah, looks like the big crane will be going up here the next day or so. They have the big crane assembling boom in the street, and I have seen a couple pieces of yellow tower crane go by on LaSalle today. I am pretty excited about this tower!! Since the church I go to is on the other side of the p...

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor
then why spend billions on hiawatha and central LRT? it's not just because people prefer riding on a train, which they overwhelmingly do, it's the millions in associated development rail attracts. and then millions in tax collected because of said developments. look at all the activity these two li...

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor
No I am not thinking of the rinky-dink trolley lines. Even if todays trolleys are not as loud, noise is not much of an issue. Since I live in a city I expect city noise. I also highly doubt a real plan for a street car line will create any more momentum then a hi frequency bus route. The plan to ope...

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor
I do not like the idea of streetcars running on downtown streets mixed in with traffic. I feel like it is a complet misuse of transit $$. Who/why would anybody think it is a good idea to run trains that can only go as fast as the traffic around it? WE already have a "streetcar" system it i...

Re: Empire Builder
I work on the Empire Builder as a conductor. I'll be happy to answer any questions, so long as I know the answer. ; ) Why is can't Amtrak design a schedule that works? People might use it more if the train wasn't so often delayed. The Empire Builder I think is designed to travel through the Rocky M...
