Re: MPS Comprehensive District Design
It did seem like an odd strategy to end the strike by committing to use a bunch of one time funding to create ongoing expenses when there was already a significant budget deficit--not sure if anyone noticed this at the time.

Re: Twin Cities' National and Global Image
This issue is now coded as Annoying, but they should still change it. God knows what they'd come up with for a new one, though!

Re: Nicollet Mall
Capacity on Marquette & 2nd won't be a problem for a long time. Metro Transit is planning to cut a lot of the suspended routes as part of the Network Now initiative. Moving Nicollet buses to Marquette & 2nd does put bus riders on the empty office streets away from pretty much all the stores...

Seven and a half years later and, still, no one is in charge of anything.

Re: Bicycle Infrastructure
Every car driving around with missing and/or obscured license plates, or tabs that are a year expired, should be pulled over, towed, and crushed. You could have people from CURA run the car crusher if patronage jobs are a concern.

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
I took the Orange Line Friday night, and that 30 minute frequency is brutal. There were a few people (most of whom were not smoking) on it, at least.

Re: Do we really have a massive housing shortage?
I always thought that giving seniors the option to age into small apartment buildings in the neighborhoods they've lived in for 40 or 50 years was a really good argument in favor of allowing small apartment buildings in outlying neighborhoods around the city, and you don't really hear it played up m...

Re: Gold Line BRT (Gateway Corridor)
The Gold Line was always a dumb idea, but I was very hopeful for the Orange Line and have been pretty bummed out that it opened at the worst possible time.

Re: Blue Line Extension - Bottineau LRT
Not that it couldn’t be changed, but most of that industrial land between 10th Avenue and West Broadway is marked as industrial (production and processing) in the 2040 plan and can’t easily be redeveloped into housing or other uses.

I think it’s under construction now? It looks like there’s work going on in the space.

Re: Transit Crime
Hard to be shocked lately but that story was wild—22 people dead on just the LA Metro since the beginning of the year following the effective legalization of fentanyl by people who got a 33 on the ACT. “We should try public art.” Thanks, Hilda!

Re: Green Line Extension - Southwest LRT
Yeah, I mean the main point of the project at this point is teaching me personally that there’s no upside to being right about things and no downside to being wrong about things. Which they could have done for less than $3 billion :-/

Re: Downtown Minneapolis Restaurant News
Looks like the windows on the reopened Zelo space are frosted (or whatever) for the bottom two-thirds or so. Can’t see in or out when walking on the street.

Wasn’t a different seafood place supposed to be opening back up in the McCormick & Schmick’s spot?
