Awesome mate! Cheers.

Could someone update the map of CCLRT progress? I would be forever grateful. Be well everyone

Northropdweller, thank you so much for the responses. I thought they we very informative on all fronts.

Do they have more than one other location? I feel like two bars does not a chain make.

Well said foto! Great critique.

On that note, I should take my own advise and say why I like this building haha. I think it add appropriate density to the areas and I actually don't mind the color scheme. I think the brick patten (whether fake or not) and metal pieces add a cool industrial look to the building.

Foto, thanks for your specific complaints. I mean this with all sincerity as it allows me to see what people dislike instead of just the sweeping "it's hideous" statement. I think FISHMAN is onto something. When folks dislike aspects of the building, could we be clear on what aspects we di...

Yeah, they are putting in a floating slab. It is supposed to mitigate against noise caused by the trains correct?

I think what MSP was referring to is that on the Hiawatha line, there is no street running shared lanes. While the rails may be in the road, they do not share lanes with automobiles, etc. If one were to drive on the rails, it would be difficult to switch back to car lanes as they are separated.

Preach it man! I agree.

I find this to be brilliant! Well done Twin Cities.

This sounds awesome! I agree that the Southdale Transit center is needed, but it could do with a nice facelift. Is there a botox equivalent for development?

I agree. I was just in Toronto and even though they were building towers left and right, I didn't think the pedestrian experience was that different from what I experience in the Twin Cities. Toronto was a cool place to visit though and I suggest it as a vacation spot for everyone.

Mulad! Railstitution?! Great word mate!

I have seen comments about security a couple times now. As someone who honestly doesn't know, what about Xcel's building or business requires such security? Thanks.

Thanks Silo. I was wondering if those two buildings on Huron had similar names.

This kind of made my day. I like new construction.

Could someone please differentiate between all the "Sols" for me? Haha I know there is Solhaus, Solheim, but I'm not clear on the rest. Cheers.

I agree but I would still keep it numbers, just make it clear on the maps which routes are high frequency. I like what Metro Transit does now with the special map and the signs denoting high frequency along the routes. Boston has tried to do special labeling of the routes. It calls the CT (crosstown...

The actually is an Apple Store (or something close to it) in the College Bookstore in Coffman Union. I'm not sure if it is an official Apple Store but they certainly sell a lot of Apple products.
