The presentation is up for next Wednesday's Met Council meeting, with the recommendations for the F, G, and H Lines: https://i.imgur.com/frGiskl.png This was the order I was hoping for, so I'm happy to see it. Hopefully the additional $56M in funding for the F Line (over the $25M they'll be allocat...

I think 515 to MOA would be better and D line connect to Orange Line instead of MOA I'm curious why route 515 to MOA would be preferred over the D line to MOA? If I had to guess I'd imagine more people would need to transfer in this configuration than if the D line went to MOA. Connecting the D lin...

This looks like it should have a trail in it connecting Theodore Wirth to the parkway. Maybe the railroad ROW doesn't allow a connection?

Don't forget part of Victory memorial drive. That is also city owned property just outside the boarders. I've thought it would be good to annex these parks if only to boost our parkscore a bit. But maybe those neighboring cities pay for those parks in their borders?

Because the Mall of America is a big destination from Richfield. And they are trying to keep the 515 high frequency. If people are going to the VA they can catch the blue line from moa. But that area of Minneapolis just isn't a huge draw. I'm curious what the ridership numbers are for route 515. Lo...

The reasoning stated in the presentation behind abandoning the 515 branch to the VA and the branch down Longfellow Ave is to serve Bloomington Ave south of 66th. What I don't understand is why not extend route 14 instead since it is already on Bloomington Ave and ends at 66th? Then they wouldn't aba...

After watching the public hearing I remember wondering why more wasn't done in Minneapolis? They extended route 27 from 4th Ave to 1st Ave and marginally changed route 7 but cut route 515 from going to the VA. And for all the talk about serving poor and minority communities I think they could have i...

I've wondered for years what would happen if transportation funding was allocated on a per capita basis. I would think the more dense an area is the more money could be used for transit or pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure.

A couple good aerial pics here.

Minneapolis is in streetsblog’s Parking Madness again. But this year it is for the most improved parking craters. Unfortunately I doubt Minneapolis will defeat Pittsburgh.
