That would be CTIB...If you want to cast blame, cast it towards those who decided aBRT isn't a transitway.

Re: Gold Line (Gateway Corridor BRT)
This project is being led by Washington and Ramsey counties, not Metro Transit.

Re: Green Line (Central Corridor LRT)
Metro Transit needs to hear about this everyday until it's fixed. You're right that somebody should hear about this everyday until it's fixed, but I think it would be more effective if everyone contacted the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and Hennepin and Ramsey counties - particularly St. Paul...

Re: Southwest Minneapolis Teardown Moratorium
And if I had recently purchased a home in the neighborhood with plans to teardown and rebuild (completely within the limits of existing ordinance) and was told: Surprise! You've got to wait a year, I would be very upset as well. If the intent really is to have a one-year moratorium I would call that...

Re: Southwest Minneapolis Teardown Moratorium
She tried to bring bar owners and neighbors together to figure out a solution to the noise problem. It was a key issue to some of her constituents. Bar owners didn't care much and ignored complaints. She introduced a "surprise ordinance" and it brought everyone to the table to hash out a ...

Re: Southside - General Topics
From the Strib article: Additionally, the judge recommended the city move a bus stop outside the bar, which owner Rick Nelson has long blamed for attracting much of the crime. What a BS double standard. I'm not surprised that the owner is blaming his problems on a bus stop but it is disheartening to...

Re: Snelling BRT/enhanced bus
The Governor's bonding recommendations include $10 million for Snelling BRT (A Line), which is enough to fully fund the project. This is some very good news in a bonding proposal that is otherwise pretty lame on transit (it also included $7 million to continue work on the Lake St Orange Line Station...

Re: Metropolitan Council
Another major problem with a CTIB-like structure is the elected officials that make up the board are only responsive to their respective constituencies. The members of CTIB are charged with making regional decisions while really only representing their counties. Thus we end up with each member tryin...

Re: Uptown Projects Map
Reading the CIDNAs rationale for opposing the project (unanimously - surprise) and some of the comments on their message board is very disheartening. A snippet from my favorite comment: "Where does it stop? Will Calhoun someday be ringed by 30-story monstrosities?" Unbelievable. These deba...

Re: Uptown Restaurant News
Prices are the same as the West Bank location. $4-6 for a pint of beer with a great selection. Entrees are probably along the lines of $8-$14 or so. Although I usually only eat there at their happy hour for $5 burgers. As far as the clientele goes, I'd say late 20s and early to mid 30s. Not a partic...

Re: Arterial Transit Corridor Study ("rapid bus")
I'm sure many of you have seen this article in the StarTrib already http://www.startribune.com/local/south/181272371.html?refer=y It's disappointing to see a suburban county with such a small stake in the proposed arterial BRT network (only a portion of one of the 12 corridors, Robert St, itself a v...

World Street Kitchen opened today. If not for the abundance of leftovers in my fridge, I'd be eating there right now. Republic is also open. Was at the Republic last weekend. I'm happy to say I'm impressed with the layout/atmosphere. The view of Hennepin & Lake is nice and the crowd was a littl...
