Detailed Metro Transit analysis of 2014 vs 2015 ridership: http://www.metrocouncil.org/Council-Meetings/Committees/Transportation-Committee/2015/December-7,-2015/Ridership-ppt.aspx Interesting tidbits: - Blue Line ridership is up 12.5% for October 2015 YTD compared with 2014. (Green line effects?) ...

Would be nice to have some more office space in the NL. I think that works better than apartment right now. I agree, especially on Washington. I work in the SoHo building and I definitely feel like I'm in a residential area sometimes, and a little cut off from the rest of downtown. Also the area co...

In this case, I think we can safely say that Matt is not serious.

Gotta get my sarcasm meter checked out.

I remember what a car sewer Washington was

Is it really necessary to use such bombastic, inflammatory rhetoric?

You serious? It was a car sewer. I went to school there before they did any fixes.

But in case anyone was wondering what Martin Kroontje of Magnolia thinks... http://www.dglobe.com/opinion/letters/3899317-letter-governor-police-should-clamp-down-protests Wow, he wants to hold the NAACP accountable? Are they at all related to BLM? Or does he just think they're all the same? I know...

Minneapolis has 1100 miles of city streets, which includes (math!) around 2000 miles of sidewalks. You really expect the city of Minneapolis to constantly check every mile of every sidewalk for minor code violations? Also I was told by Elizabeth Glidden and Sue Roethele to report things to 311 and ...

Decision not to plow the Gateway Trail is drawing fire http://www.startribune.com/decision-not-to-plow-the-gateway-trail-is-drawing-fire/361155451/ I purchased the house I did in order to live right near the Gateway Trail -- and I use it nearly every day for transportation and exercise. I was wonde...

They leave road construction signs out blocking bus stops and sidewalks for weeks or even months after whatever they were for has been finished. Have you heard of this neat thing called 311? Try it some time. I've been using the hell out of their app and the SeeClickFix website lately and they are ...

Ughhhhh. I could've definitely see that being a factor. Last year when we did nerf wars, there were things that could've gotten us a big big fine or a night in jail. Such as speeding over 40-50 mph in neighborhoods to get away from people, hiding in the back of trucks and popping up to attack someo...

I don't understand the appeal of Peavey Plaza at all. Also, I don't think even as urbanists that there is anything wrong with sometimes doing things that don't align with our beliefs. It's not our fault that we live in a climate that is sometimes harsh and in a country that doesn't value walkable or...

You could cut the pretentiousness in this thread with a knife...

That one was good too. Hey, it's not a sports bar, deal.

Wonder what will become of that transit hub that they have moved once to make room for the Cowles Theater? Where can we move it to now that it can truly be a functional shelter? The corner it was on I don't think it ever got used much at all. I never noticed that thing until I started working downt...

Welcome to the forum! If you ever feel like writing in longer form for streets.mn, you can get more information on that side of the website. And not as a slight to anyone else, but I just wanted to say you're one of the best new active members of the forum in recent months. Keep it coming! Alright,...

Anyone have or know of any photos of neighborhoods/streets/blocks before they were torn down for freeways? Looking for street level shots of Minneapolis, but St. Paul or inner suburbs would be good too.

In the process of shitting all over the dated fixtures/shelving/appliances in this condo, I'll point out that it is not worse than my 1972 apartment in CARAG, for which I pay nearly $900/month (with a weaker amenity package). It may be tough to sell this condo to someone currently living at 222 Hen...

What are "democratic" city views and what are "republican" city views?

If you don't like "the city" in general, it's whatever they do that you don't personally like.

Love seeing this ambition.
