Fascinating history about Duluth’s stagnation.

Though it regrettably does not interrogate the idea building 35 through downtown “revitalized” it.

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
I think there were lost opportunities in the Cedar Lake Trail reconstruction to do a separation of pedestrian from cyclist trails. There were some sections that had room to build sections where walkers could have parallel separation, but seems engineers hoovered up all that to excavate storm water t...

Re: North Loop Neighborhood
The close proximity to the Royalston or Target Field stations is interesting to think about (two block walks?) but crossing Olson or 7th is an unpleasant experience.
It’s also going to have close freeway access for drivers, and frankly that matters to many people still.

North Loop Neighborhood
This is arguably North Loop, but the Wells Fargo site at Olson Memorial and 7th will be closed and sold. Branch relocating closer to North Minneapolis.

Small thing, but it stood out to me how much that awning sticks out and how much shade is being provided. I love it. I wish more projects actually followed through and built it. Even without consideration of climate change, cities need to offer more shade for residents and visitors right now. Kudos ...

Re: Minnesota State Flag and Seal Redeisgn
I’m most pleased with the flag that hints at the shape of the state. Though I’d go for taking that flag and sub in the yellow+white starflake instead of the white 8-point star. Even as is, it feels like this could have been a flag that stands the test of time and fits in among an array of flags. Do ...

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure
If I recall, didn’t some section in Richfield do this widened gutter? IMO, when the choice is between a stripe and a widened gutter, the concrete every time. Currently drivers more easily recognize the concrete as “not their space” but just paint is seen as theirs. I’ve had conversations with my 80-...
