Re: Root District - Farmers Market / Royalston Station
I would really like to see some housing proposed for this area, the rest of the North Loop is running out surface parking lots to redevelop. Along with would love to see more along 5th St between 6th Ave and 10th Ave.

Yeah, it is no longer listed on their website and Google Maps has it listed as permanently closed. That is unfortunate.Oxendales appears closed after a three month tenure.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
If they do add the ability to use a normal credit/debit, is there any reason to keep the original go-to card around? Wouldn't it be annoying to have lots of small transactions on a credit card statement, or *particularly* a checking account statement? It's so much nicer to have fewer, larger transa...

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
So, why would a card have to be contactless to have it work on a bus? Swiping it worked just fine everywhere else, including vending machines of the era. I'm truly not aware of any transit system that implemented swipe to pay via credit card board moving vehicles. I don't think Cubic or any other m...

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
As long as we're complaining about design decisions... EP Town Center station is directly adjacent to an apartment building, restaurant, and bowling alley. The driveway for that area almost serves as a street grid-type extension but the cul-de-sac by the station cuts vehicle traffic (and there is a...

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
Considering everyone had a credit card and cellular techology was everywhere even back in 2004, why did they buy a system that couldn't accept credit cards on the buses? Contactless debit/credit cards were not widely available in the United States in 2004. The country as a whole was a slow adopter ...

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
I live near this line. I would rather see it reduced to aBRT project and priced at 25%. If it’s Purple or aBRT, it will be slow, which will hurt ridership. A reduction would open funds for additional projects, and my vote would be a more useful Hwy 36 project. What are you proposing along Hwy 36? O...

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
So, how many dedicated lanes do the Red and Orange Line have? Very Little. Red: Uses the Highway 77 shoulder to bypass traffic if needed. Orange: The tunnel under 494, MN-Pass Lane(but it shares that with carpool traffic), Marq2 So honestly Purple Line will have more dedicated lanes, so in my opini...

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
Why is this still being billed at a colored metro line. This seems more in line with our lettered BRT. It hardly looks like its getting dedicated lanes where it matters most. Technically Bruce Vento Trail isn't off the table yet, but I just looked over the 15% design plans from 2020, there is still...

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
I've always wondered though how SWLRT's ridership will be reported, since it is an extension of the existing Green Line. I hope it is both reported separate and together with the existing Green Line.

I went running near the construction in Kenilworth the other day. They've laid several segments of track in the corridor. My untrained eye says they have to be closer than 3 more years of construction. But who knows? Civil construction as far as I am aware will be done in 2025, I'm assume then they...
