Re: University of Minnesota - General Topics & Development Map

Does this mean that TKE is moving? I lived across the street for a year and they were terrible neighbors.
Also, I had a friend who lived in the blue thing. The unit was enormous and surprisingly nice.

Re: Nord Haus - 315 1st Ave NE (208' - 20 Stories)

Yeah, so per the plans the tower floors are each 6" shorter than the low-rise floors. But I'm sure the angle is also deceptive.

Re: Street, Road and Highway Projects

Fun fact: In the 2016 Streetview imagery for this intersection, you can see a really ugly early-80s Cadillac blowing through these lights with another waiting pedestrian.
you also get to experience ignoring the pedestrian; apparently that's what the streetview car did too!

Re: 18 West 15th Street - CPM development

One benefit of a full cap in this location would be the opportunity to link up Oak Grove Street & E 17th St.

Re: Public Transit News and Current Happenings

Apple Maps directs me to exit the bus a quarter mile from my apartment and walk, rather than ride it to the stop directly across the street. so that's odd.

Re: Chanhassen - Chaska - Carver County - General Topics

There will be lots of opposition. I can't think of a building in Chan that's more than 3 stories; this would be the tallest in the city by far. The site, right next to the Dinner Theater, will also make it highly contested. It always seemed like the Frontier Building, as well as retail in the Theate...

I think some serious work would have to be done to calm Lake & Excelsior before street-fronting retail could do well here. Maybe I'm wrong.

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure

Do you suppose they would restripe 10th and remove the center left turn lane (I've always thought it wasn't very utilized), or just install bollards on the current line? Also, I would hope that they would at least continue the protected lane on Central to 4th & 5th, rather than terminate on Univ...
