Re: Hennepin Avenue Reconstruction (Douglas to Lake St)

*me living on Hennepin knowing full well that everyone around here doesn't dare park on Hennepin* As a suburbanite who loves visiting Minneapolis, I have literally never considered parking on Hennepin, or any major street for that matter.

Re: Orange Line / 35W@94: Downtown to Crosstown Project

[/quote] I It feels a lot more like no-compromises BRT than Orange Line, having exclusive lanes everywhere except downtown St. Paul (which is the most important place to have dedicated lanes, but Orange doesn't have dedicated lanes dowtown either so its moot as a point of comparison.)

Re: Northstar Commuter Rail

Serious question.. what about pairing it with a bus route? During off peak times having a bus instead of train that would service the stations with hourly service then riders would have dependable hourly service during the daytime and if those busses start to get crowded they could upgrade to half ...

Re: Highland Bridge: Ford Site Redevelopment

Potentially silly question, but will people be able to play in the waterfall feature? That image reminds me of seven pools in Lowry hill. I used to swim in those as a kid, granted that may not have been officially allowed, but I was like 5. Lol
