It'll be fodder for many conservatives just because it is money not going to roads. Period.

Traffic: by Tom Vanderbilt

I read it when it first came out. It changed my thinking about roads.

Everything that helps evolve Highway 5 through EP and Chanhassen (between 212 and at least the Arboretum) from what it is now into even something like France Ave in Edina or Excelsior Blvd in SLP would be a good step to making the corridor livable and attractive to development of things residents mu...

Boom!

Yeah, anyone attend able to offer a sum up?

There really isn't a general West End thread, maybe there could be one to consolidate the apartment and entertainment developments into one ... Regardless ... A 43,000 sq. feet "mega entertainment complex" signed a lease planning to open in early 2015. Bowling lanes with luxury seating (li...

The quote that struck me most in that Strib article was this one: County officials want to start preliminary work on the road project this year, including buying homes in the way. The county could spend more than $10 million to do that. So even if Bottineau doesn't happen the county wants to buy up...

Maps are there. It's one hell of a wide stroad proposal.

We don't need this forum except to coordinate the elusive happy hour, just google everything. If you don't you're lazy.

The NFL actually is very heavy handed about stuff like this and likes to pretend it runs the city while it's there. If the NFL decides it doesn't want Crushed Ice during this time, it would absolutely try to block it Oh I'm aware how heavy handed the NFL is regarding its brands. I'm sure they'd com...

The NFL isn't going to let Red Bull come in and piggyback on the publicity of the league's marquee event.
