Awe!!!

you'll have to repost that in two years when it is relevant.

“I think this is a crazy proposal,” Rep. Bob Dettmer (R-Forest Lake) said. “I will not be voting for any kind of toll road or toll bridge between the great states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.”

Monoraaailll! Monoraaailll! Monoraaaaaiillll! Monorail!!! Mono......DOH! [] This needed to be posted after all this serious talk about Monorails.

i see the monorail can-o-worms has been opened. as i remember back more than 10 years ago from the LRT vs. monorail transit civil war in seattle (the other battle in seattle i suppose), i recall switching initially being a major issue but later as an engineering issue that could be solved relatively...

I don't see how the name sounds like an inside joke? It's not bad...one of the better ones lately I think compared to Elsewarehouse and The Natural.

there should be a compromise here that if this new sign is allowed downtown, 5 billboards should be removed. start with these three: two on top of the Rossmor Building: http://maps.google.com/?ll=44.951365,-93.093811&spn=0.00096,0.001635&t=h&z=20 one here above Babani's: http://maps.goog...

the main reason seattle was dead last in getting lrt was because they had a decades-long battle between monorail supporters and lrt supporters. read up on that if you want to open the monorail can of worms. they still have their monorail - it's just over a mile with two stations just as it was when ...

I, too think that at least one version of this map should be kept for projects that are actively being planned, and have at least a reasonable chance of being built in the next 2 decades. I agree. This map is great but keeping it within the Met Council Vision is realistic. I would also like to see ...

why do i feel like the old timer here? there must be a lot of younger people on this forum or people who haven't lived in the area for very long. i thought i was relatively new here. anyway, that skyway bridge was removed to make way for the lrt platform: https://maps.google.com/?ll=44.978389,-93.26...

I really enjoy the area that has developed around San Diego's Petco Park (which I know is baseball, and smaller). I'd really hope that DTE could become a really cool new neighborhood, maybe even on a bigger scale than that. http://www.photopilot.com/blog/media/blogs/photo/Petco.jpg It helps that Sa...

There was a noticeable (very obvious) lack of people on their 20s and 30s at the opening. i found that to be unfortunate and a bit odd considering everything i hear about the younger people being more transit inclined. definitely a lot of silver-haired nostalgia seekers.

I would like it to take the shape more of something like the Ivy

If they use Kasota stone like their building across Nicollet then I think it will be a nice building.

do you mean on the first five floors only?

i'm hoping a skyway connection can be replaced going to the south...
