Re: Street, Road and Highway Projects

I figure they ended the bike path a block before the midtown greenway because there isn’t a paved ramp to the greenway from Lyndale. The closest one is on Bryant.

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT

Does anyone know the reasoning and cost breakdown of why they are elevating the road but not the rail at Bass Lake Road. Just by the photo it seems like it will require a lot more infrastructure to grade separate the road than the lrt line.

Valid response. If it helps, I would guess he is on the autism spectrum, and that his tone, manner of speaking, etc, is not intentional. I work with people on the spectrum and my “A”-dar goes off a lot when watching his videos.

Re: Metropolitan Council

Nicks idea reminds me of other large cities in the world. (New York and London have boroughs, Tokyo has wards, I’m sure other large cities have similar break downs.)

I have faith. I felt the same way until I learned that it had burned down before. The idea that they had created it from scratch more than once gives me hope.

Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar

Why is there currently an operating rule to only allow one train in a tunnel at a time? (Referencing slide 27 in the Riverview Corridor presentation.)

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT

I hope with the at grade station, the planner put conscious care in the surround area, like good lighting, strong connection to the parkway, etc. At first look, placing a train station under two bridges does not see like a great idea for place making, or the perception of safety.
