Hey Northeast friends! Please take this survey so those of us that live here can have the loudest voice about this incredibly dangerous intersection. Do you, like me, avoid walking or biking here? I even tend to avoid it by car. - ThreadSky

Hey Northeast friends!

Please take this survey so those of us that live here can have the loudest voice about this incredibly dangerous intersection.

Do you, like me, avoid walking or biking here? I even tend to avoid it by car.

The intersection in question is University and Lowry. Here's the survey.

If you love Stanley’s, they have 5 other sister restaurants in the Twin Cities, all with dog friendly patios.
The Howe
The Block
Pub 819
The Bar
Duke’s
Wells Roadside

In other words, Stanley’s isn’t some one-off unique restaurant. They can be replicated in another location.

But…it’s the closest thing we have to an Applebee’s in NE. I don’t want to drive all the way to south Minneapolis for extremely average bar food.

Although watching people in the U.S. navigate roundabouts is always fun. Okay, ya got me. I’m in!

The men's bathroom urinal is iconic.

Urinals can be moved! Or auctioned off for charity!

@elliottpayne.org and @liam2manynames.bsky.social I am all for the safest option for residents: walkers and bikers and drivers a like.

Yes, let’s sacrifice Stanley’s for the greater good!

I would just say remember this is MnDOT and with their history (think I-94) I’d encourage everyone to be skeptical and think twice about their assumptions and recommendations. I’m all for vision zero like you said, but that’s MPLS not MnDOT! I’ll be interested to see the results of the survey

I’m just letting you guys know what I think, since they say next steps are working with the City… which I know means public works/mayor’s administration but In case this comes before the Council in some way.

I don’t trust mndot as far as I could throw em, which is not far.

Which option prioritizes pedestrian safety?

mauratwit.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Roundabout option, which removes Stanley’s.

I didn’t realize it, but I needed to go to the survey link and then rank things like pedestrian safety, so I didn’t have to go through the proposals in detail. Sorry, it just took me a minute to figure out how to help.

Thanks for filling it out. Nothing like giving mndot the what-for!

The City will be a partner in this so I’m writing Elliott Payne that I support the safest option for pedestrians and bikers.
