Re: Rice Creek Commons (TCAAP site) - Arden Hills
Wow! Zombie development rises! This is huge! It’ll be interesting to see the new master plan since it mentioned how office space is not as attractive as it was in 2019.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
Metro Transit's service changes beginning June 11th:

Not very many changes this quarter. I was wondering if we'd see express bus frequency increases.

Cranes are up for this. Should be fun to watch while at a Twins game.

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
Changing the discussion a little. If the new terminus was Maplewood Transit Center, I think it would still be a good line. There is a huge potential for Maplewood Mall to be redeveloped. It is an underutilized mall.

I’ll be at the meeting tonight and let you all know what the outcome is. Are they allowing public comment? I emailed that mayor and city council the other day and got no response. They are not really taking comment. I got a response from one council member. Tonight’s result…. Tabled until next meet...

Re: Minnesota Redistricting 2022
Looks like the districts were renumbered. Is that typical? Will there be an official map that is this detailed? Is there a comparison version? I’d love to toggle back and forth to see how lines near me shifted.

Re: Saint Paul - General Topics
Most of that is the recently (pre-covid) extended route 54. I wonder if that will be removed/shortened when Purple Line is operational.

Re: Fantasy maps
Great map! Seeing it like this makes be wonder why the Hwy 36 BRT is not on the mid term plan. Copy route 270 but make it an all day service with a stop at Rosedale and maybe Rice St.

Park Board denies request to extend the 180 day closure of the parkway. What do we think will happen if they need additional time?

Re: Orange Line / 35W@94: Downtown to Crosstown Project
That sounds decent. IF office workers begin to come back this summer, we will see ridership explode. I really hope that Metro Transit can hire drivers and get back to pre-pandemic schedules. That problem feels a bit Chicken and Egg... if the schedules are not up, riders will chose to drive, but if r...

Re: Eagan, Apple Valley, Burnsville - General Topics
Honestly, it seems like a massive mistake for Chipotle. An oversized awning and carside pickup seemed like a far better option. It allows for out of order (line) service based on who ordered what first/what is made currently. Plus with recent staffing issues long lines and irrate customers could ho...
