Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market

Their Seattle campus is huge, would they be creating a second campus? Perhaps the Farmers Market area.

Re: Millworks Lofts - (4041 Hiawatha Ave)

That is an annoying amount of exterior light on a blank wall. I'd be extremely angry if there wasn't a soundwall between me and this.

Re: Future cars / Driverless cars

It's a waterfall. It's natural state _is_ eroding away. I think you mean a more "picturesque" state.

Re: Subsidized and/or Affordable Housing

I don't really know what the bureaucratic requirements for Section 8 are, so I won't venture if this is a good idea. However, I've heard a rumble. The Indoor Smoking Ban started in Minneapolis. Then spread to Hennepin County. And finally statewide. There are suburban landlords and neighborhoods gett...

Re: Riverview Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)

Is station infrastructure so expensive that there couldn't be two Fort Snelling Stations, the Blue aligned north-south and the New aligned east-west, with a single bus turn-around and parking area for both?

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Riverfront - Mill Ruins Park - Waterworks

Very pretty. Can't for the life of me think who is going to pay for this. Cutting into the walls of the lock? Ouch. And lets not forget that big door holding back the river will need to be maintained, and I doubt the Army Corps of Engineers will be on the hook for it.

Re: 46th & Hiawatha Mixed Use (Oppidan/Greco Project)

To get to the nearest entrance, users of the closest transit station (A-Line) have to walk down an alley past a loading dock?

And the alignment on 47th Street direct to Hwy 55 needs straightening. Get those blocks lined up.
