Re: Bicycle Infrastructure

I apologize woof if my statement came across as such. It was not my intention. I was just curious why some people did not like helmets. I view them similar to seatbelts in cars in that they provide a great level of safety/body protection.

Re: Downtown Retail News

It's relatively cheap and pretty decent food. That's why I went back when I lived near one.

Re: Nicollet-Central Corridor

What about the suggestion of extending the Nicollet Mall to K-mart? I recall someone bringing this up a while back. I live in Loring Heights and I never recall Nicollet being especially busy with cars. It seems that most people use Blaisdale and First to get to their locations along eat street and o...
