Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
As someone who sits on the Riverview Station Area Task Force, the county and city both still support it as a rail project.

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT
I just watched the Met Council meeting from Weds, and CM Judy Johnson truly wants this to be a BRT project, but that's not what most people want or makes the most sense. She really frustrates me.
I guess only 3 out 17 votes on the Met Council are against it, Johnson, Vento, and Wulff.

Re: Thrivent HQ & Moment apartments - 500 7th St & 650 Portland Ave
Well there is also a Starbucks on Washington right by Trader Joe's, so now more locations covering a larger walk shed.I wonder why Starbucks would close the store on the Commons and reopen over here so quickly?

Re: Better Bus Routes - Metro Transit
Yeah I think they are skipping that due to it looking too much like the number 1.I think so, yeah. They've requested bonding money to plan and build the J, K, and L Lines, but no I.I expect they'll skip I?

Re: Better Bus Routes - Metro Transit
This comment could go in the aBRT thread or here, but I wonder if going with lettered rapid lines instead of numbers is going to seem like a good idea long-term, once we're in the middle of the alphabet. Instead of A-K (minus I), the first ten aBRT routes could have been labeled Routes 1-10. Obviou...

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT
I am also assuming there is a soft plan to try to roll over the green line project office staff into this project. That should help keep it moving as well as you don't have to start from scratch like they did with southwest because of the gap in time between it and central corridor. Sounds like we ...

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT
I'm starting to hope this whole Blue Line extension project collapses based on the new, proposed route. The route past Robinsdale down the middle of a 6-lane stroad is awful, and now the North Minneapolis routing is looking pretty bad. I fear the route along 10th and 21st Avenues will make access f...

Re: Suburban Transit (Opt-out Services Providers)
Atrocious in terms of reliability, price, or something else? I've only used Connect once and it was just to try it out. Seems like it can work well instead of very low-frequency fixed routes, but only if they have the drivers and buses to meet the demand. Reliability and Price. It is more expensive...

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
I'd rather have 30-minute frequency than 0, as long as it doesn't take away the high frequency service on the Green Line between the downtowns. I agree with Silophant, I definitely don't think Metro Transit is in a place currently where expanding service is possible. Also, you don't build LRT and t...

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT
What do people think about adding another station on 7th street just north of Olson/6th? Would be a good transfer point for both the C and D lines, but current land use around the station is very poor and it is less than .5 miles from target field station. And of course there is a travel time penal...
