I've always taken 960, so I didn't know there was a separate park and ride at Dunwoody. Is it the same bus? If not, just walk 5 blocks down Hennepin and take the 960 it's a breeze.

$10 to park at the U of M's Gortner ramp, and about a 5 or 10 minute walk to the gates. Acknowledging I'm still contributing to fair congestion, but it sure was convenient and cheap.

*whispers* What's a "food hall"?

A spiffed-up, fancier food court, basically.

Since I've moved to the Central Corridor, I find myself taking the 16 on a regular basis because I don't want to walk the two blocks to the Green Line station and the 16 gets closer to my destination anyways.

Today I went into a car dealership with an electric vehicle and left with an SUV.

Oh I forgot about this thread. I had my car for a week and did some Uber Eats driving. Parking in a lot of places you shouldn't park but not a single bike lane. Also I avoided some shorter trips because I got used to owning a car when it's 0 degrees out. Finally gave it back and I feel so free.

Not that good. Maintenance and loaner vehicle.

It’s a pretty funny punchline though.

My little Ford Fiesta was hit by another driving during our first bad weather at the beginning of December. I specifically requested a compact car during the claims process because I have to park on the street. What did they offer me when I dropped my car off? A "small" SUV…or a large SUV.
Ended up with the smaller SUV (a Chevy Equinox), and I kind of loved it. Was definitely happy to get my Fiesta back (but I missed the heated seats).

On a bike, or foot?

Okay, these recent ones are backdoor urbanist brags, not embarrassing confessions.

We could have had this for 1.23 billion, instead we got the stadium and the Super Bowl with the Eagles. Too late to trade?

I just re-read this whole thread.
Did it again 3.5 years later.

A medium one:
When I see pneumatic tubes counting bikes, I ride back and forth over them ALOT on purpose....once about 10x over an hour. Especially if it is bad weather. I don't want low numbers to justify disinvestment.
A bad one:
I simultaneously believe that the city is for everyone and that panhandlers ruin places.
A good one:
I'm the driver that refuses to pass bicycles on roads without bike lanes. Even in the height of rush hour. I just piddle behind them at 10mph.

I also do the medium one, though not to the same extent as you.
For the good one: As a biker, I hate it when drivers do that. Makes me nervous.
