Re: Bicycle Infrastructure


Upcoming presentation to this next weeks BAC/PAC meetings is a first look at a possible layout of the Grand Rounds Missing Link. Looks to be an seriously expansive project that includes all parts of the missing link other than the railroad yard crossing. I personally am most excited about the ...

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)


American Blvd may be one of the most overbuilt roads in the "Urban" designated suburbs. I've said it in another thread, but there's little chance of making it an area that feels conducive to transit ridership when you need to cross an astonishing 19 lanes of traffic on foot to get to the opposite ...

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)

How far south would Nicollet BRT run? Curious if the study was for the entirety of 18.

Re: Bloomington - General Topics

Maybe I'm being too optimistic here, but I'm hopeful that the study provides the city with leverage to institute these changes and continue redevelopment in its special districts. A lot of great development has happened in the 10+ years since the last study and I feel like something could happen ...

Re: Bloomington - General Topics

Bloomington is conducting a study on aBRT on American Boulevard. The city is trying to determine what improvements need to be made to support BRT here after it wasn't included in Network Next.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)

Speaking of the Orange Line, it's getting a frequency boost to every 10 minutes during weekday rush hours and every 15 in the early morning and evening. Weekends will also be 15 minutes all day. Service span is now 4:30 am-midnight. This all went into effect on the 7th.

Re: Bloomington - General Topics

I agree that Bloomington is moving away from being so car-centric, especially with the updated active transportation and traffic calming plans. Small improvements here and there are also being snuck in with PMP. What baffles me is that the portion of 86th that was recently repaved still isn't marked ...

Re: Bloomington - General Topics

American and Lyndale are not good places to walk, yet 66th and Lyndale in Richfield carry a comparable amount of traffic and are much better places to be. That's a big reason why a lot of the dense development around that intersection happened, and Bloomington's streets need to be cut down to size ...
