Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor
I agree that we should always be striving to make our transit system better, but would people provide specific suggestions on how to make the system better? TCmetro, I would also argue that our bus stops are pretty good. Yes the benches could be farther from the street, but I find the amount of info...

Re: Park and Portland
Thanks for saying that Uptown sport. ^^^ I agree, the wide swath descriptions are getting a bit tiresome.

Re: Star Tribune Blocks
I wasn't criticizing your idea man. I agree that we need to be careful with what we tax and that we do not want to create a environment hostile to economic stability. I was just confused because I understood your statement to be implying that Governor Dayton is intentionally trying to screw over MN....

Re: Star Tribune Blocks
Again Nasa, are you saying Governor Dayton is intentionally trying to shaft the state of MN? That sounds like a pretty hate filled, accusatory comment. Is it your intention to put this feeling across or are you simply stating you disagree with his politics? I ask, because, negative view of him or no...

Re: 2013 Minneapolis Municipal Election
I agree. But I also think that yelling at them will just cause them to fortify their own beliefs. This ultimately doesn't get what, I think, we would want in the first place, which is for the bigotry not to exist.

Re: 2013 Minneapolis Municipal Election
Thanks John. I think there is a wide range of ideas that exist in our city government. Nasa, I just can't agree that one side is more intolerant than the other. Case in point, a vocal part of the right side of the political spectrum is intolerant of homosexuality, while a vocal part of the left is i...

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor
I would also add the point that, while they do look cool (which I agree, they do :D ), streetcars are more about moving volumes of people. I was always under the assumption that a streetcar carry more passengers than a bus, articulated bus, etc. I feel like this is what should be pushed when conside...

Re: 2013 Minneapolis Municipal Election
To be fair, you can be what other people might consider a kook and get elected anywhere if you put your mind to it. I actually think Minneapolis runs pretty well as a city. Granted, I have not lived everywhere, but in the places I have lived, I was suprised by the craziness that exists in government...

Re: MSP Airport
I think we have had "direct" service the past two years, but we have not had "non stop" service since whenever delta dropped the flight. I think the latter is what the MAC is going for.

Re: America's Favorite Cities
Visualizer. Thanks for exapnding on your previous statement and just to be clear, I was not offended by your post. I think one reason it is difficult to meet people in MN is because so many folks who are from here, stay here. I view this as a positive, but this trait can lead to an insular environme...

Visualizer, could you expand on that? I am interested in what you mean, and don't quite grasp what you are trying to say. Cheers.

Re: Transit News and Happenings
^^^^ I would love that. I think US transit systems are too sitting focused sometimes. Especially on high frequency and express routes, I think it would be ok to have fewer seats so more people could board the bus.

I am fine with aBRT as well, I just thought it was less ridership levels and more resident opposition that stopped th...

Re: Twin Cities Future Transit Map
Has anyone heard if opinions of LRT on West 7th in St Paul have changed? I know it was shot down previously, and BRT was preferred, but I was wondering if the popularity of other lines has changed residents' views. The whole idea of the transit triangle really causes me to nerd out hahah.
