Re: Freight Rail News and Happenings
I've wondered if any of the big RRs ever wish they had kept a main as a straight shot south from the metro. UP has the spine line (originally Rock Island) and CP has stitched together the old Milwaukee Road from St. Paul to Sabula via Soo Line and DM&E/IC&E purchases. But now will CP wish th...

Re: Richfield - 66th Street - General Topics
I'm 90% confident this proposal will be a Target. I've heard Targetrons mention a desire for a reliever to the Cedar Point and Southdale stores, it fits the square footage, it fits the "grocery component," and it's a match for the layout of the order pick-up parking.

Re: Rochester
It's a small building that's not a part of the development site. For many years, it was the office for the Rochester Honkers baseball team whose stadium is across the river.

Re: Richfield - 66th Street - General Topics
If there's going to be TIF, it needs to be for something far more ambitious than this. Even district parking under some more housing for something like Penn/American. If they're going to pitch a low-value Woodbury Target/HyVee + 4 outlot drive throughs, I see no reason why the city should help fund ...

No post on here yet about 635 Van Buren NE? This parcel nearly backs up to Central Ave where it curves towards downtown, to deconstruct 1970s SFH and build a 23-unit 4-story multifamily building with no on-site parking but an interior "bike hub" with 32 bike parking spaces. It met current ...

Re: Street, Road and Highway Projects
Long ago before D-Line planning, I dreamed of Park Ave becoming a rail tram + two-way cycletrack corridor, with one lane + parking for local residents. I'm not sure what speeds LRT/trams can go where they are using signaling tied to stoplights rather than full freight rail style grade crossings. But...

Re: Fantasy maps
I can't imagine a greenway above a tunneled rail line, but Minneapolis should definitely be figuring out how to extract a Central Ave grade separation as part of the CP-KCS merger talks. Lots more traffic will go through this corridor in a few years.

Re: Street, Road and Highway Projects
Long ago there were some maps floating around, and the best idea seemed to be adjusting Bloomington to de-skew the intersection on a new bridge. This current intersection is messed up because the extreme skew results in people driving into the crosswalk (without realizing it) to bypass motorists wai...

Re: Orange Line / 35W@94: Downtown to Crosstown Project
Big picture though, there are definitely some missed opportunities with the Orange Line. Center stations at 38th St and Franklin Ave would have been great, along with a station at Nicollet (short walk to Hub redevelopment, anyone?).

Re: Fiber Internet and TV Services, Cord Cutting
From a business standpoint, it's perfectly reasonable to focus your extremely expensive infrastructure buildout on the areas that are most likely to give you a quick return on investment. It's the city's job, imo, to force utilities to serve the entire city via the franchise agreements, just like t...
