Re: Thrivent HQ & Moment apartments - 500 7th St & 650 Portland Ave
I wonder why Starbucks would close the store on the Commons and reopen over here so quickly?

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Office Market
Can't blame them for not foreseeing the pandemic, but the county spending fifty million on the Thrivent building (and taking a half block of downtown off the tax rolls) at the same time the city was building a new office building across the street was a real missed opportunity.

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...

Were they trying to blow stimulus money? Weird time to expand.

Re: Harmonia - 255 2nd Ave S - 25ish / 20ish / 10ish stories
There's a big decal-type sign for this up on the existing building at the corner of Washington and 3rd Avenue, but they didn't splurge for fancier renderings than what we've already seen. Hope this one ends up working out!

Re: Northeast and Southeast Minneapolis - General Topics
Maybe they could partner with First Avenue to build a community performing arts space? We don't have one of those on the river up there.

Re: Alatus Residential Project - 228 South 12th Street (32 stories - ~348'/405')
It was too bad that this never panned out. I thought it was a pretty good proposal and would have maybe gotten a bit more going on this side of downtown.

Re: North Loop Neighborhood
I always remember a MinnPost article from ages ago citing a study saying that 99% of Northsiders “have or know someone who has asthma” as an example of the hard-hitting, data-driven thinking around HERC.

There also appears to finally be some construction going on in the former McCormick and Schmick’s space at 9th & Nicollet.

Re: MPS Comprehensive District Design
It did seem like an odd strategy to end the strike by committing to use a bunch of one time funding to create ongoing expenses when there was already a significant budget deficit--not sure if anyone noticed this at the time.

Re: Nicollet Mall
Capacity on Marquette & 2nd won't be a problem for a long time. Metro Transit is planning to cut a lot of the suspended routes as part of the Network Now initiative. Moving Nicollet buses to Marquette & 2nd does put bus riders on the empty office streets away from pretty much all the stores...

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure
Every car driving around with missing and/or obscured license plates, or tabs that are a year expired, should be pulled over, towed, and crushed. You could have people from CURA run the car crusher if patronage jobs are a concern.
