Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
Late to the party but this is great news! It works great in Chicago. Tap to pay with CC initially, but then setup a Ventra account to avoid tons of small transactions. I agree Metro Transit should promote this big time when it goes live - bus wraps, signage at METRO stations, sports arenas, conventi...

Re: Downtown Minneapolis - News & General Topics
I went to a downtown panel discussion last week that Goodman and Frey spoke at. Among other things one of Goodman's parting desires was to "tear down that damn post office ramp" and Frey echoed it too. I didn't know it was such a priority at the city - good to see.

Aerials for Minneapolis just updated today to ~June 2023. Streetview still mostly '22, but I've seen some '23 roll out in the burbs.

Re: Street, Road and Highway Projects
"expressway between 97th and 119th avenues." What's going on with 93rd? Feels like a lot of business there for MnDOT to route traffic to via frontage road.

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Retail News
Very good news! I'm assuming they are working up to a uniform 8 pm close, but to me it's odd they extended the hours Mon-Wed, instead of Friday and Saturday.

Re: North Loop Green - Hines - 350 N 5th St(?) - 35 stories - 393'/418'
Hines hosted a realtor for a construction tour. He claims 354 luxury condo units. I reached out... it's apartments as it's always been. According to him the first 6 floors will be the short term rentals, 18th floor is amenity. 352 are long term and 98 are short term. Expected completion is April 202...

What do we think here? Seems like clear LRV operator error given the westbound train was already stopped.

I would shop here regularly when I lived in Uptown '18-'22. It was great. Daily essentials, coffee, bananas, and frozen pizzas a short walk away in a more walkable format than the Cub or Lunds. It was open until 10 pm and 11 pm Saturdays pre Covid & civil unrest. I still stand by my claim that U...

Re: Harmonia - 255 2nd Ave S - 25ish / 20ish / 10ish stories
Sherman presented to my building's HOA board. I didn't catch the presentation but meeting minutes were distributed, so take with a grain of salt. Here are the notes: - Three buildings 10-20 stories - 900 units - Retail facing Washington Ave - Possibly starting 2024 - Affordable units at 60-70% AMI -...

Re: Suburban Transit (Opt-out Services Providers)
Wow, so to generalize, urban transit ridership (MT) is about half of pre-pandemic and suburban is 1/4? Tough to see.

Looks like it's showing demolition of the Dinnaken and Argyle student housing buildings, both built in the early/mid 90s. And is that a building on top of Oak St ramp? Build it!
