Since I started this, might as well update everyone, I ended up (finally) ordering a bike last week, the Priority Continuum . Getting used to the different riding position from my old hybrid, but it's certainly lighter, and I look forward to doing less maintenance. Oooh, you should do a review afte...

The preliminary technical drawings also show the Good Grocer building to be demolished.

Does this mean that TKE is moving? I lived across the street for a year and they were terrible neighbors.
Also, I had a friend who lived in the blue thing. The unit was enormous and surprisingly nice.

Yeah, so per the plans the tower floors are each 6" shorter than the low-rise floors. But I'm sure the angle is also deceptive.

Are the tower floors shorter?

Fun fact: In the 2016 Streetview imagery for this intersection, you can see a really ugly early-80s Cadillac blowing through these lights with another waiting pedestrian.

you also get to experience ignoring the pedestrian; apparently that's what the streetview car did too!

^yeah, like who lives in that house across the street and why do they go to the post office so often?

Yeah, why are all the dropdown windows stuck open?..

^nah, that would just encourage people to be homeless.

One benefit of a full cap in this location would be the opportunity to link up Oak Grove Street & E 17th St.

^agree 100% about the cap.

I like the Nicollet Grocery building, though.

So does anyone have any novel solutions for the transportation problems brought by these types of facilities?

For that matter, what is "applicable Federal law"? Anyone know these laws?

Apple Maps directs me to exit the bus a quarter mile from my apartment and walk, rather than ride it to the stop directly across the street. so that's odd.

Also, who are these residents? This isn't a residential area. ?

3) they don't like other people getting in the way of their life.

Yeah the fact that I always have to re-log in to get to my purchased tickets is extremely annoying.

There will be lots of opposition. I can't think of a building in Chan that's more than 3 stories; this would be the tallest in the city by far. The site, right next to the Dinner Theater, will also make it highly contested. It always seemed like the Frontier Building, as well as retail in the Theate...

I think some serious work would have to be done to calm Lake & Excelsior before street-fronting retail could do well here. Maybe I'm wrong.

^I think it should be noted that airplane and automobile industries both strive for 100% safety--for the occupants. The difference is that planes don't kill pedestrians. Car manufacturers are constantly touting their models' safety features and ratings; these are meant to keep you and everyone else ...
