Re: Southwest Corridor (Green Line Extension)
The consulate office is downtown, of course. Yup, I used to work in the building (4th ave and 7th st if I can remember off the top of my head). Was quite a surprise one day when the elevator opened, scented air wafted in (not kidding, smelled like flowers) and there was a Canadian flag across the w...

Re: Target Field Station (The Interchange)
I thought they just climed a ladder.So... seems like the biggest mobility gain from this project is the elevator for the tower crane operator.

Re: Twin Cities Underground Rail
Since we're all dreaming here, I'd say my "dream" line would be a tunnel under Nicollet Mall, continuing under Loring Park and then Hennepin Ave. The line would then come above ground and turn west in the greenway and finally head south down France, ending at 494. Stops: *Between 6th and 7...

Re: Downtown Retail News
It looks like they are clearing out the LEN Outlet in City Center. No signs or anything so not sure if they are changing to a different concept or closing. The other LEN store on the corner by Brooks Brothers is still open.

Re: MSP Airport
Do flights to Asia from around here (MSP or Detroit) go West over the Pacific or North over the Arctic? Both. It fully depends on the departure and arrival station. Already answered, but you can see the direct "Great Circle" route between cities on this website: http://www.gcmap.com/ For ...

Re: Nice Ride Minnesota
NiceRide is operated as a non-profit, so they will never "turn a profit," per se. Here's their annual report for 2013. https://www.niceridemn.org/_asset/fy64tk/NRMN_2013_Annual_Report_web.pdf A quick look-through shows they are generating enough revenue (from subscriptions, fees, sponsors...

Re: Green Line (Central Corridor LRT)
According to the most recent "Making Tracks" email blast:
Service will begin in mid-2014 before July’s Major League All-Star game at Target Field. The outcome of LRV testing will determine the opening date.

Re: Car Sharing
Used a Car2Go car last weekend. Used it one way from Lake St Cub back downtown for groceries. Was nice being able to park right infront of my building instead of having to walk to a ramp to use ZipCar. I've now used both ZipCar and Car2Go. I think I might keep both as they both have uses. If my fian...

Re: Downtown Restaurant News
Construction barriers have been placed around the old Jamba Juice stand skyway level in City Center between Len and Baja Sol. The barrier advertizes a place called "The Salad Bar" if I remember correctly.

Re: Downtown Restaurant News
Nicollet is a funny place, because the street and the skyways are an interesting observation of socioeconomic divide. Gerbil tunnels have a bunch of young finance and target middle managers talking about which prekindergarten to enroll their kids in or what trim package their new Hyundai Santa Fe h...

Re: Loring Park Master Plan
The only part of the plan that has been posted here is a one page PDF suggesting height limitations. Am I missing something?
