^ I agree. Let's emphasize one nice connection to reinforce what we already have. Ideally, a nice, active street between Rice Park and Mears Park.

I also continue to believe the Riversedge project could be a major jolt downtown. People love getting close to waterfront with activities and places to ...

He commutes from St. Paul to Wayzata. Dude is insane on those grounds alone.

Connect it to St. Cloud or bust. Probably bust.

That Selby/Victoria Subway always stuck out like a sore thumb. Obvious place for housing and human scale/walkable development.

I am speechless

We should just rename Rochester to "Parking City." At least this one isn't downtown, but sheesh its parking-to-city-stuff ratio is just insane.

Once you have single-story buildings, good luck getting those torn down in the next few decades. I would wait until we can do it right.

How's the vacancy in market-rate apartments in Downtown Minneapolis?

Interestingly, it appears that the new 169 study only goes south to 55, and thus does NOT cover this interchange. I called MnDOT asking for a follow-up.

Yeah, I think this was called like "Vision 169" or something, and it seems to have vanished since it was prepared as shown back in 2018. Odd!

The 169 vision has these two interchanges being reconstructed the following ways in late phases.

I wish the Cedar Lake Blvd bridge would ...

The biggest troll would be to actually propose and build 150,000+ new triplexes now.

That ... is a great idea. Any freight delays expected along NLE routing I wonder?

If you read the report, there is a "restoration" option as well, which is essentially undoing what was done. Did you read the report?

A substantial portion of results from the recent MnDOT survey recently came out of places like Woodbury. I'm not sure the Our Streets (Minneapolis) has their hand on the scales of public comment like you seem to be implying.

If anything, the conventional wisdom, "don't change anything" people seem ...

Although I agree that the additional pull-through lane isn't ideal, at least they're putting a patio/plaza thing facing the stadium on the other side. Something, anything, but surface parking though, please.

Don't transit pundits say "put transit where there's density"?

Classic chicken and egg. Get the density first or get the transit service first.

Both at once is better.

Simple = good. I think this was a very good outcome for both flag and seal.

Unless the city has the gumption to diet Broadway downtown, those historic buildings will always be wasted. But to be clear, they definitely should not be torn down as the 3rd & Broadway node is probably among the highest potential for walkable destinations in the city. And there aren't many others.

I just wish publicly-funded stadiums didn't feel free to gouge to the max on concessions prices. Either gouge and cover your own financing, or don't gouge and get handouts from the public.
