Longer term I'd really like to see Metro Transit add dynamic displays like they have on newer NYC subway cars. They display the current stop, next stops, and final stop, along with the scheduled time between each stop shown.

I'm going to suggest that we use that as a reference point.

New landing site for the Green Line Extension. The artwork circles for each station are very cute. I hope they become pins to collect on opening day.

Of course they want money from Minneapolis...

Everybody ought to campaign hard to reelect Katie Cashman if they want it upzoned.

With the 25L branch through Kenwood being eliminated in the network now amendment, the already very low chance Metro transit changes course and the route 25 platforms at W 21st St Station get upgraded for route 2 ...

"Data from Metro Transit showed moving the line to Front and Energy Park would bring higher ridership, but that could add 2 to 5 minutes per trip."

Someone here probably knows the area better than I do, so is it worth sticking with serving Como ...

Meh, Metro Transit just ...

I'm looking forward to visiting for the first time as soon as that train gets going :)


I described it in probably the least flattering way possible in that post but it is a nice mall, worth spending some time in. It feels more occupied than the numbers look. Absolute pain to walk or bike to ...

From an Amtrak presentation, I believe they are exploring Target Field, Anoka, and Big Lake stations.

Speaking of Nicollet Mall... It seems like the city has been pretty quiet about whether or not the Mayor's pet project of removing buses is going forward or not.
