Re: Midtown Greenway

Given the unknowns about the condition of the bridge and the long term usage of it for rail traffic it seems to me that building a new parallel bridge coupled with a similar layout to what exists on the west side of the river (one rail track a service road and then the bike path) going at least to C...

Re: Prospect Park - General Topics

Update on Malcolm Yards food hall project: The city has decided that the food hall has to be considered a shopping center instead of a restaurant which will require different zoning and this has led the Met council to require that an environmental review be preformed on the site. The end result is t...

Re: 200 Central - Alatus Tower (Washburn-McReavy Site) 483' / 40 Stories

I don't have any legal background but it seems it may be a bit early to celebrate. The way the order reads to me it seems this is just a ruling by the district court (finally) on the last part of NEBL's original case not on the appeal which is still before the appellate court. We still need to hope ...

Re: Nordhaus Phase II

I should have clarified that. Given how few details there are on the website and how big the number is I wonder how firm that 800 number is as it seems like an awful lot for a building set to open next year that probably doesn't have any units to show yet. Still it explains why we are seeing so many...

I never said I agreed with the bike parking reduction. On another note I wonder if the surface parking lot will be a problem with getting approval.

Re: Northeast (and Southeast) - General Topics

Happy to see this development going forward. An earlier set of plans where presented to Prospect Park around 2 months ago. The earlier plans had an additional car entrance off of Malcolm which I am happy to see removed and were a story taller. I believe the reasoning behind the bike parking reductio...

Re: Public Transit News and Current Happenings

If this becomes law and we don't get an FFGA in time. Which would really suck after so many years of planning. Then it seems that the funding potentially available to build and operate abrt lines and the Midtown line would skyrocket. I hope SWLRT gets built but if it doesn't then the rate of abrt li...

Re: Prospect Park - General Topics

Yes it is the 3/4 quarters of the block around Teamster. I will say in defense of Prospect Park that although some weren't pleased at the height of the senior development (the main concern being the difference in height with the east side of Malcolm) they still said they would support the project.
