I've been wondering the same thing. They appear to be manually operated, so maybe not 'security' infrastructure, such as quickly closing the freeway due to an emergency. Cursory search through their design standards didn't get any hits.

'leaked' lol

Perfect spot for a new supertall :p

That name makes some broad assumptions on it's programming

Won't the Twins opener boost Northstar?

And the owners are super nice. They operated a gift shop and then a coffee shop near my childhood home.

Looks like a new restaurant is opening in the former Bad Waitress space- 'Relish' https://relishmpls.com/

They've been selling off furniture for months

It's a supercenter, but there is another about 5 miles away in Brooklyn Park.

Gradient (number 2) is a total 'spreadsheet project.' The architect was aloof. They didn't even have a street facing door initially.

On a side note...is this area an old River bed or something from thousands of years ago?

Yes! But more like 10,000 years ago. The chain of lakes is the old pre/inter glacial river valley. Lowry Hill though is a glacial feature.

Looks like the old Alliance Francais at 113 N 1st St is getting a 3-level 'Taco Concept' restaurant tenant. Looks like a 'speakeasy', event space, and first floor main restaurant, patio and rooftop. https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/download/Agenda/4471/1131stStNStaffReportAttachments.pdf/79478/3743/11...

It's a legit road used by service vehicles on the old RR ROW. A connection here should also include selling off some land for TOD. It's a huge parcel that's Met Council owned.

'Historically', this area should have more intensive uses...

But seriously, is there no plan to make a direct trail connection here? It's all county owned and would be a great connection for residents and park users.

They should have continued the skyway to Kenwood Parkway!
