Re: Nicollet Mall Reconstruction Project

and a properly marketed ice skating feature could work. i don't think peavey was every given much love as place to skate. having inviting places for people to gather. And don't make it look like a hockey rink like they do in downtown St Paul's outdoor rink. Not everybody loves hockey in this state!

Re: the cross merge

Ah ha, cloverleaves? Uh, yeah, 36. That's one of the worst. 100 feet for me to get over, and for someone to get on, either behind or in front of me. All while going 55 or 60.

Now here's someone that loves his city. Every little bit helps. Thank you.

Bing Maps

Judging by the projects going on in Downtown Mpls and the signs everywhere for the MLB All-star game. I would say that the Bing maps streetside is pretty new. I would say this past July. Can get some great views of the projects going on downtown.
