I half agree. If the line is going to someday have downtown express routes then i'd disagree, well kinda, if it's to downtown st. paul then it should remain red. Also it wouldn't be important to free up the Red line label until a looooooong time from now.. after the gold and purple lines are up and ...

Perhaps it's because I don't view the midway as a urban corridor but instead of just a train highway. Huh? It's one of the most urban corridors in the entire city! Yea, that's LAKE STREET. Midtown the trench is an opportunity to get from one end to the other fast. Let the B line service the corrido...

it'd be easier to jump on the light rail.

be easier to uber it.

What delays? For me it's always been less than 1 minute waiting for a train to clear the junction, plus West Lake wouldn't have the long signal cycles like US Bank Stadium Station does. Seems by your logic we should have all rail lines be separate from each other so there's zero chance of a delay, ...

I don't know how we'll integrate Midtown LRT and the Blue Line, but with the western end while there would be separate platforms at least it's easy to merge the Midtown LRT into the Green Line heading west. it seems completely pointless that the midtown line be connecting to the other lines to use ...

Im OK with it being just one LRT car, and if parts are single track im OK with that as well. What I'm not OK with is extra stops. The line should only have the following stops, a Green line stop, E line stop, Orange line stop, D line stop, and a Blue line stop. let this be a fast track corridor that...

I saw a link about a proposed development going in behind the family dollar. While I like the idea of progress and density, I think this is going to "destroy" (block) the best views of the downtown area that I can think of.. If anybody feels like capturing this wonderful skyline during the...

disgusting! absolutely DISGUSTING! I was so happy to join and get my internet at 35 bucks a month and I'm completely happy with the service and the price! I am absolutely this company is ALREADY jacking up the price to min price of 50 bucks! I been completely happy with my 30mbps speed at a price I ...

Now maybe we can talk about another green line extension on the OTHER end? 2-3 more station south of the Mississippi River in St. Paul. There is a lot of opportunity for a nice dense development to blossium in the area, plus connecting the St. Paul downtown Airport would be pretty neat too. It could...

Yes, because hotel guests otherwise may get confused and light-headed with all the skyway direction options. If they dare allow two skyway connections. Forcing hotel guests down to the street level is the best option. That way they never want to come back and visit Minnesota again! Great way to kee...

http://www.startribune.com/southwest-light-rail-line-clears-significant-federal-funding-hurdle/500527811/ FTA did their job at literally the last possible moment. Bid should be awarded tomorrow, construction will begin this winter. It's happening! THIS WINTER! That's awesome news! Can't wait! YAHOO...

Sounds like no one from the Four Seasons has spent enough time using the skyway system to realize what a crappy connection that is. It's a looong way out of the way to go to get to anything besides parking ramps. Four seasons guests sound like "those" Wal-mart customers who hog the power ...

Why not work with Opus and fund a temporary skyway from the library to 365? Yes, because hotel guests otherwise may get confused and light-headed with all the skyway direction options. If they dare allow two skyway connections. Forcing hotel guests down to the street level is the best option. That ...

I'd still like to see mid-block crosswalks. When developers build these new downtown mega projects they include things like this which existing downtowns largely refuse. Developers know that you need narrow streets, lots of marked crosswalks, and low speeds (the street below is posted at 25 MPH) an...

I haven’t seen anything change from the final plans posted above, except that the bio-digester might have been scratched. https://www.stlouispark.org/home/showdocument?id=1196 I like it except for the solar canopy. Likely the space is to small to fit in a few townhouses, but that space could be bet...

they can't call it light rail as it's mixed traffic. As much as I'd love to put "old" blue line LRT vehicles and label it as "street car line" since it's in a car traffic lane, however seems more logical to just use buses and combine it with the Red line. Even if that means the R...

I'm surprised L&B isn't involved, they were all in when Rainbow was on the auction block.

So strange that Sears isn't closing this location yet, since they do own the property. One would think MOA ownership (Triple Five Group) would be ready and willing to buy the space from Sears, as they did with the former Bloomingdales. Triple Five is obviously aware that Sears won't be operating th...

The Walgreens at MOA will not have a pharmacy. Fhat the wuck? Shoot.. Guess that means you'll have to bring your own antidepressants while black friday shopping.. :cry: Does seem like a big missed opportunity, but I wonder if it could be a permit/zoning issue instead of Walgreens actively not wanti...

Nice, picture of all the cranes. Almost makes ya forget those cranes are a good x2 the height this building would every be even with a 40ft. flag pole on top.. lul.
