Re: Metropolitan Council
Man could you imagine a more cohesive super region. more equal transportation network, more spread out response to low income housing. Maybe even being able to equitably spread out school funding across the entire region. Obviously bigger isn't always better for bureaucracies but it could be cool I...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Retail News
Zelo has removed the frosted glass facing 9th St. Looks much more inviting than before.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
I wish there was a city ordinance that prohibited this.Looks like the windows on the reopened Zelo space are frosted (or whatever) for the bottom two-thirds or so. Can’t see in or out when walking on the street.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
I hope they re-open somewhere else, they were my favorite gyro place downtown. Seems like all tenants were kicked out of Northstar for the renovations.Was sad to see Greek Grill & Cafe in the skyway at Northstar Center is now closed. Where can I get my gyro fix downtown now??

Re: Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) Clinic Expansion
The hospital may need parking, but they certainly do not need it in the configuration of a full-block parking ramp on a prime downtown site. They can store their ambulances anywhere. The site bounded by Chicago... I agree 100% with everything you stated, but I think this is one of those site that w...

Re: Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) Clinic Expansion
As much as I would like to see something more active than a parking ramp, I don't really see many alternatives for this site. As much as we want less parking downtown, the hospital needs parking, they need a place to store their ambulances, and a skyway connection to the burn victims housing is very...

Re: Minneapolis Skyway System
Could go in another thread I imagine, but the skyway association seemed the biggest news. Hennepin Healthcare will be expending their parking ramp with new underground ambulance space. But the expansion will link to the skyway network connecting to the new Thrivent HQ. https://www.bizjournals.com/t...

Re: Phoenix
It's interesting to hear positive takes on Phoenix here. I'm not among the hardline urbanists on this forum, but I found Phoenix to be the definition of a car sewer and a city lacking of culture. Everywhere you look it's a six-lane road and a chain store. Most of the recommendations are outside of ...

Re: Phoenix
Lost Dutchman State Park is pretty cool. There is a ghost town recreation really close to there also.
If you have time, Tucson has a lot of great hiking, such as Sugrao National Park, Mt. Lemon and Sabino Canyon.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis - News & General Topics
Does anyone know the average occupancy of each unit? I am thinking it's around 1.5 or maybe a little higher. That would mean about 5000 additional residents in the next 2 years.

Re: Stadium Parking Ramp Development Site - 25 stories / 294'
I live downtown and thinking about my neighbors, only about 1/3 of them work downtown.
Is there data on where the downtown population works?
The rest either worked from home (pre-pandemic), outside of downtown or retired.
