Re: 2023-24 Minnesota Legislature

Re: Dogwood Coffee : mixed use
Once interest rates start falling again (shouldn't be too much longer), it sure seems like development should be coming.

It would certainly be a more accessible place for the elections office.

It is all a silly waste of time, litigating against an imagined future that isn't going to happen and doing next to nothing to stop actual progress.

Re: New Third Precinct Station
I’ve never seen the cops in my neighborhood, even before 2020, so that’s moot for me personally, but the burned out building is a massive blight on an area that needs a lot of help. If it’s politically untenable to ever use that building again they should have torn it down two years ago. That I agr...

Re: New Third Precinct Station
As someone who lives in the third precinct, the delay is becoming pretty absurd. As someone who also lives in the third precinct, why? Personally, I cannot tell any difference from when it was in operation. I haven't seen anyone make the case that we somehow benefit from having exactly five precinc...

Re: Road Geek Topics
It gives people who are actually careful about the speed they go permission to go a little slower and worry less about the person behind them. But there aren't very many of us and it actually is hard to drive slower than the design speed.

Re: Fare-Free Transit
It is interesting to me how many of these arguments can be directly translated from the "is fare-free transit a good idea?" debate to the "are toll-free highways a good idea?" debate. I imagine that most of our knee-jerk reactions (including myself) would put us on a different s...

It is always strange to me how the anti-HERC rhetoric never acknowledges the fancy neighborhood that has grown up around it.

Re: Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis - General Topics
Just realizing how weird it is that there's not a single hotel on St. Anthony Main. Especially considering the many wedding venues. I guess there's the Nicollet Island Inn, so there's one. Not a single hotel in Dinkytown either. A few in Stadium Village. The city's pattern of hotels is indeed stran...

Re: Interstate 94
This one is such a no-brainer.*MN-121 removal (proposed to get a similar band-aid soon, should be removed, re-gridded, etc.)
But in defense of Our Streets, 94 is scheduled for work whether they advocate for something better or not.

Re: Interstate 94
Agree with all this. I am torn between whether the effort to remove this stretch of 94 benefits the removal movement by starting a discussion that the region hasn’t seriously had before, making it easier to remove a different freeway even if this one doesn’t succeed. Or if it harms the movement by ...

Re: Interstate 94
It did happen when 35W was closed, though. Park and Portland got their buffered bike lanes turned into overflow lanes, and even so I heard a lot from my south metro coworkers about how bad Lyndale and Blaisdell were for those years. I think there are real differences in traffic reactions between te...

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure
Whatever happened to the Bike Coalition? You never hear about them anymore. I am sure I am missing the joke, but they are Our Streets Minneapolis now, and they have been pretty prominent in pushing for the return of 6th Ave N and replacing 94 with a boulevard. Or is it that these things are not suf...
