Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar
That's funny--they sent out an email a month ago with the phrase "lots to love about revitalized progress" (this does not make sense) in the header that stuck in my brain for a minute as seeming sort of like something you might read in a spam email.

Re: Amtrak: Empire Builder and Borealis (TCMC)
I think you get considerably less ridership on NLX if it doesn't stop in Minneapolis. Chicago is different, but Duluth is not that faraway, hard to drive to, or to have a car in. I don't think that many people are going to be taking an hour long transit ride to Union Depot to pay whatever to take a ...

Re: Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan
It is pretty funny that you can file a lawsuit and the courts will spend six years on procedural back and forth with laypeople skimming the 500 word articles throughout thinking that they are addressing whether or not the thing is good or bad.

Re: Interstate 94
When I open up the website youtube.com in my internet browser every couple months to find and watch a movie trailer, it immediately makes me feel like I'm having a seizure.

Re: Office campus conversions
Site plan approvals should be subject to the same 60 day rule as every other land use application. There might be (I’m sure there are) other regulations that make it more complicated but once you file the complete application they have to do something with it fairly quickly.

Re: St Thomas Master Plan
It's tough for St. Thomas that "UST" fits right into "jUST say no to ______". I've seen some lawn signs. https://www.startribune.com/editorial-st-thomas-needs-to-work-with-neighbors/600362555/ On the bright side, the arena does kind of look like a Medieval Times. https://www.advo...

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT
Yes, it is odd, given how many thousands of words have been spilled on this topic in the press, that no one has really scratched the surface on what's going on there.

Re: Gold Line BRT - Downtown St. Paul to Woodbury
This was always an extremely marginal, politically-motivated project, before any of the other stuff happened, and the poor performance of the Orange Line is not a great sign.

My "days since I've seen someone doing hard drugs on a train" counter is now at "don't recall specifically," which is nice. The "days since I've seen someone doing hard drugs at a train station" counter is at two, though. I did see a UMPD cop physically push a guy off t...

Re: Suburban Malls and Associated Retail News
I will unironically go to Asia Mall before 2035, when the train opens. It's actually pretty far away!EP's biggest culinary destination - Asia Mall - is actually pretty close to the Town Center station, at least as the crow flies.

Re: Suburban Malls and Associated Retail News
If they're going use TIF, they should at least try to get an Olive Garden or something over there--when the train opens in 2032 I will definitely take it out to the mall once for fun and it looks like Applebee's is currently the best suburban chain option they've got.

Re: 2023-24 Minnesota Legislature
I would be interested to read some more behind the scenes reporting about why it didn’t work out. Reading between the lines a bit (and there’s something extra annoying about the word salad quotes from electeds on this one) it seems like the opposition was largely coming from the metro suburbs, which...

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
It's so wild to have followed this project for two decades and periodically have new political, professional, or computer characters emerge and assure me that, clearly, there's nothing to see here--all is well. It's a huge self-own on my part. Am I still going to be doing this in 2030? Very humbling.
