Re: Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Corridors
Run the Red Line north as a hybrid arterial/highway BRT, and run C down Riverside and Franklin to the Green Line.

Re: Seven Points Uptown (Calhoun Square)
Don't forget the Selby/Snelling Whole Foods, which definitely doesn't have a line out the door every day.Right, no one goes to grocery stores with parking garages, which is why the Old St Anthony Lunds and downtown Whole Foods have been such abject failures.

Re: Carbucks
Does St. Paul not have unarmed traffic control like Minneapolis does? I don't think the Minneapolis ones are even in the Police Department; traffic control is part of Regulatory Services or something. Why would St. Paul send an off-duty sworn officer, rather than a traffic control agent? Why would ...

Yeah, but what isn't?One more push for banning the caucus system forever because it's terrible and anti-democratic.

There is absolutely old-style white flight continuing to happen throughout the Twin Cities metro. It's not as explicit as it used to be, but it happens all the time.

Re: Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
Any parliamentary procedure experts know who has the authority to bring a motion to reconsider? The prevailing side, or the losing side? The person who made the motion? To my understanding this shouldn't be a problem from a parliamentary procedure standpoint. Only the prevailing side can make a mot...

Re: Dismantling Downtown Freeways
Ramsey County's Riversedge proposal has four towers on a cap over railroad and Shepard Rd. It's not impossible, but it is very expensive.

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT
Note this from slide 17: "To fit the LRT guideway, sidewalks, and two travel lanes about 75 feet of right of way is needed. When additional right of way is available other elements can be included: boulevards, bikeways or street parking." I assume that is pretty bare-minimum sidewalks. Not...

Plenty of people enjoy it. It's an interesting game for a day.Literally no one enjoys or defends that endorsement process, yet it endures...and it's really hard to understand why.

On the contrary, I think that's asking for collisions between vehicles and buses.

Re: Hennepin Avenue Reconstruction (Douglas to Lake St)
I think to successfully do a U-turn, you would have to allow cars to temporarily enter the bus lane.

You save a few feet by consolidating them as a two-way.

Re: B Line Lake St Rapid Bus, Midtown Rail Transit
I'll be interested to see how well this works on Marshall, it's a tight corridor for everything they're trying to do on it. I do think that's probably part of the issue with floating bus stops there, it would make things even tighter. Another consideration might be snow clearing in the winter, as S...

Re: Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Corridors
But still. People hate transfers, even if it's to another aBRT. And the eastsiders are much more likely to want to go to downtown St. Paul anyway. Eastsiders won't lose direct-to-downtown options from Como-Maryland; the buses on Payne, Arcade, E 7th, etc. will continue to go downtown, and you'll ha...

Re: Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
I was under the impression that the water on the golf course was primarily a groundwater inflow issue (because lakes here are just areas where the ground level dips below the water table), and not an issue of insufficient outlet. The Barr report concluded that "the potential lowering of Lake Hi...

Re: Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Corridors
That was the big argument for why Rice-Robert had to come first, to make the transfer less onerous.
