I don't believe they can just make the area a parking lot and it is not on the Land Use Application portal as of today. But it could be it is on pause Here is the project in question.

I believe it is owned by the same developer that built lake str...

I am VERY surprised to see an office tower proposal.

Hopefully they know what they are talking about and this is a good sign for the downtown office market. Wondering what a post pandemic office design looks like

They are hoping to demolish two older duplexes and a triplex, consolidate the 4 lots into 2, and have them rezoned. The development will in...

Totally agree with you about the housing options available to young adults going to the University. I am always asking myself how students can afford these types of apartments. When I was going through college I was broke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Anecdotally a lot of people’s parents hel...

Without reconstruction of curbs, there are only four lanes worth of space on Lake Street. I guess if you added the bus lane in the other direction, you'd have to remove the left turn lane they're proposing. I suspect that would slow things down quite a bit. Ohhh I didn’t see they were also doing a ...

Just wanting more information. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was told by Hennepin County staff, that t...

No post on here yet about 635 Van Buren NE? This parcel nearly backs up to Central Ave where it curves towards downtown, to deconstruct 1970s SFH and build a 23-unit 4-story multifamily building with no on-site parking but an interior "bike hub" with 32 bike parking spaces. It met current...

Cheba hut is opening in the Asher’s retail space

On Dupont or Emerson?

I suppose it would probably be easier from a planning perspective to just cut the route short instead of trying to add stations at the last minute

Seems like going from Maplewood Mall -> A park and ride near the 694/36 interchange in Oakdale (who supports the gold line), maybe near Century Ave and the 694 exit -> Century College terminus (assuming WBL or Mahtomedi would allow metro transit to dip their toes into the edge of their city) would b...

Here's the CoW packet. Now called The Standard at Dinkytown.

17 stories?? Incredible. Too bad there is no grocery store at ground level. Dinkytown really needs another option besides mini target
