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...

Reupping a ten year old complaint: they need to bring back the non-rush hour 94.

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.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
I don't use it very often without a smartphone, but every two or three months with a group we might take a bus somewhere, and then get a car home at 1:30 AM instead of waiting for a bus. If they were to pull out (which seems extremely unlikely--you'd have to think the state will preempt it) probably...

Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar
I don't even think it's as thought out as politicians wanting to go to a ribbon cutting or spread out money to other side of the metro. It feels like it's more about the expectation that a government of a certain size has an office full of people whose job it is to talk about transit planning stuff....

Re: Riverview Corridor Streetcar
If I had to pick between this combined with the incoming huge flop of the Gold Line, and a $2.5 billion transit museum in downtown St. Paul, I'd maybe go with the museum. You could put a little train in the food court and ride it aroundRamsey County needs to get some love, so probably.
