Does the Ivy own the surface lot on Southwest corner of their block? I thought the south half of the block including the corner where the skyway is and the southeast where the church is would make for a great location! You could link the skyway in the new hotel and possibly the Ivy too. Reality, pro...

hey le seur, would it be easy enough to do one of those pictures looking down the midtown greenway in uptown with all the new projects under construction? Honestly the picture above was a first trail. :mrgreen: It's pretty easy to drop in a render when the background images are from a similar angle...

Wait, what? Is that for real? The word v i b r a n t is censored?

...I always thought a QR code would be better in many cases...

The dynamic signage is nice too, but the QR codes look pretty handy and affordable! I'm guessing as advanced as GPS fleet management systems are getting MetroTransit could pump out pretty accurate infromation from a website!

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmhX4pGZdIw[/youtube] Are my eyes playing tricks on me, or did they tone down The Great Northern yellow paint? There is a shot at 18:12 that is bright yellow compared to the one on the tour at 19:21. It could just be the sun from the skylights on a different...

Business Hotel and Green Space? I'd take that. Reading about some of the LEED buildings in NYC like the new BoA tower, it seems like design is generally improved when a developer goes green. I'm still partial to this one though http://www.stolaf.edu/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=NewsDetails&id=4767 ...

Facebook events are so 2011.

Lol. Maybe you should create a Google+ Hangout, Ha.

Does this proposal mean 1016 Marquette is dead?

"Stadium renderings and plans won't be unveiled to the public until an architect is picked" http://www.startribune.com/local/minneapolis/168078086.html?refer=y "...Finalists will appear at a public forum at the Metrodome at 5 p.m. Sept. 6 to show off their resumés. Stadium renderings...

Here are the firms that submitted proposals... AECOM, Ewing Cole, HKS, HNTB, and Populous. There will be a open presentation of past projects given by the above firms on September 6th at the Metrodome. Note the presentation is only of past designs and not new design ideas. I don't know how the whol...

Has anyone heard anything new about the DEED money? I thought they was suppose to make a decision in Aug.

I've been looking too. News might show up here:

but nothing yet.

Anyone know what some of the actual details on cost/delays were on this project? KSTP was pretty light on details.

Does the Mill City Times reporter still post here? Maybe under a different name? I must have missed the email re: moving from Minnescraper. I was just wondering why I never receive updates anymore... So, I'm back on the best urban planning /development news site in Minneapolis! Are all of the old p...

Myself personally I would start taking 2-3 weekend trips up north to the lake shore during the summer heat! sure would be fun quick vacation spot! I could see a lot of people using a train up north in this fashion actually and it would also be great for UMD students. I won't argue either way as to ...

I often read through the forums and wish I could "like" someone's post, or find a different post that I generally disagree with.... But, I have several argument as to why I don't think we should institute any such like/dislike system: *Simply "Liking" a post makes it easier to be...

Thanks for the update mulad.

^That's neat! Is it easy to do? Could you do it with a picture looking at the skyline from I-394 from the West, or I-94 from the North? Thanks! Trying to get the right angle is the only hard part the image above was originally from google street view, the rest is just photoshop. I'll see if I can f...

...I think we need to collectively continue to praise the project to really help create some positive energy... I'm already trying to picture how good it will look in the skyline! I think I may be about a floor tall here, and seeing too much of the South face, but I though I looked pretty good from...

Looked at the webcam, I know it's nuclear medicine, but that is a massive amount of concrete encasing the four treatment rooms! Here's what a columnist at the NYT thinks of new expensive technology: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/02/it-costs-more-but-is-it-worth-more/ http://graphics8....

Wow this gives me hope that we can do better than Indy in the Stadium department.
