Street, Road and Highway Projects
I thought I read on Minnetonka' city website that they are building an additional highway access to WB 394. I believe the rationale was that currently all Ridgedale traffic to go west must enter 394 at Plymouth precisely where 394 traffic is exiting to 494. It can be an epic congestion mess and with...

16Twenty - (1620 W Lake St)
Is there a map of this lake shore overlay district? I can't think of any rational reason it should extend to this property other than an underhanded way to limit development along Lake. Maybe this overlay district needs to be revisited.

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure
Reminder, this happens Thursday the 8th. I attended the open house in Minnetonka, it was very lightly attended IMO. If you want to voice for cycling accommodations on county routes, or are aware of gaps in the network, or think certain plans needed a higher priority, this is a good time for it. Henn...

Re: 35W Air Rights and West Bank Transportation
I know Wilf is a real estate developer. And this kind of needed development is outside his experiences, but wasn't part of the reason speculated that he was looking in the northern suburbs was that he could develop land around the stadium that would happen there? Here is a proposal to create acres o...

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure
Dismissive of its necessity. Though you'd probably call it laziness as well?... laziness, lack of availability, and vanity. are there other reasons?

The Southdale district's York Ave. is really turning into a residential and retail area.

Re: St. Louis Park - General Topics
On a related note, it would be great to reconnect Wooddale Ave across Hwy 100 to tie the 36th St redevelopment area together with Excelsior on Grand. The city has looked at the cost of doing it primarily as a way to improve response times from the fire station to the southeast corner of the city. T...

Guerrilla Urbanism
Residents get fed up with miserable urban conditions and have sometimes take to improving the urban environment themselves rather than wait for bureaucracy to get on with things. One familiar use of this are those little yellow 2D children holding up red flags telling folks to slow down because kids...

Re: Minneapolis Armory
My greatest hope for this is that they find a way to put in skylights over the arching roof. But that is a wish I never expect to see, I'll be pleased when it isn't car storage anymore.

And everything will be built in ROW, no takings, and all effort made to relocate/replace plants and fences in the ROW in the cost.

Re: Holy Angels Lawn Strip Mall (Nicollet & 66th) - Richfiel
Excelsior is also owned by the County, they'd have to sign off on that. When this was built there was a snowball chance in hell Hennepin would put in a two lane roundabout on this road.
