New St. Paul Movie Theater at Metro State
http://www.bulletin-news.com/articles/2015/10/25/metro-state-install-state-art-movie-theater#.Vi7xhFUViko This is pretty cool, but it's too bad it couldn't be one of the old movie theater buildings like 1077 Payne Ave (https://goo.gl/vFx2m8). It's amazing to me that St. Paul doesn't have a real movi...

Re: Rush Line Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)
I know many here want this to go down 7th street, but I still really want to see this on Phalen Boulevard to serve Arcade, Payne, and Cayuga. I was thinking about the difficulty of making a stop at Arcade due to the elevation difference (same problem at Earl, which would provide a good north/south c...

Re: K-12 schools with high bicycle modal share ?
You could check Great River Montessori. I remember seeing a ton of bikes there even though it's a bad location. It's charter.

Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
"Mexitalian" Pizza restaurant coming soon to location of Otra Cocina at 1193 Payne Ave. I could find out much more about it than that. A quick google search finds this: http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/general-news/20120314/mexitalian-restaurant-review-a-flavorful-fusion-of-italy-mexico Th...

Trade Ayd Mill and 35E for calmed Snelling?
I am far from an expert or even amarm chair expert on these issues, but as I considered the strange situation of 35E and Snelling I wondered why we don't just switch the use of these roads. Could we reduce the truck traffic and overall volume of Snelling by allowing trucks on 35E and building out th...

Re: St. Paul Restaurant News
There has been very little progress on either of these buildings. The large furniture store building has new blue tape on the floor, perhaps outlining where the bar will be - who knows? It is clear, though, that the development of this building will depend on the new parking lot being built behind i...

Re: *F antasy maps
This was initially 2 separate maps, for the Riverview and Rush corridors, but since I couldn't help but continue adding to this, It's become more of a pantasy map, so I'll drop it here. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zSJnxXbOTTGo.k1HQwbeccJkw I like this Rush line better than the first fant...

Re: More East Side Businesses
I believe that Cookie Cart is also going to open up on Payne Ave, and I'm assuming they're going to be in the bldg at 946 Payne. Cell phone stores are popping up everywhere on the east side - especially Metro PCS (https://www.metropcs.com/find-store.html). Cricket Wireless is going into the old Tort...

Re: Ayd Mill Road
This would really create a kind of highway island neighborhood in St. Paul of Summit HIll and Summit U. What portion of 35E is restricted from truck traffic? Would changing 51 to Ayd Mill also require changing that status on 35E south of Ayd Mill? I totally agree that the public has to demand a phys...

St. Paul's East Side
I have been told that two vacant buildings on the same block of Payne Ave have been bought by the same person. These are 900 Payne Ave and 871 Payne. I was told the 900 Payne location is planned to be a cafe and ice cream shop but the other is not yet determined. 871 Payne is a large space that was ...

Can you elaborate on the significance of this? I don't know enough to understand the implications.

Re: Rush Line Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)
I've been voting for Payne Ave, but I think this means having the train share a lane with cars unless we really tear up the neighborhood. The 7th St Improvement arches are pretty big. On our walking tour, the Rush Line rep was saying they might have to add infill to raise all of the ROW to the same ...

Re: Rush Line Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)
It's unknown. They've promised to co-locate or relocate the Bruce Vento Trail should it be built along the RR ROW, but there have never been any drawings or suggestions as to where it would go. This is a major problem with it using the ROW through Swede Hollow because this is a key connection from t...

Re: Rush Line Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)
I wouldn't anticipate many mall users as transit riders. But mall employees, yes. I think you're right that the land use in the area is not the kind that is currently built to accommodate transit, nor is it the type that would easily change.

Re: Rush Line Corridor (Alternatives Analysis)
New documents on the rushline.org webpage to see further alternatives being analyzed. I'm going to one of the open houses tonight to promote the East Side as a destination rather than a through-way.
