"Surface parking generally costs $5,000 to $10,000 per spot, with underground/structured parking costing five to 10 times more than that. By comparison, installing good bike parking costs about $100 per bike depending on the type of rack used." streets.mn/2023/05/23/b...

www.startribune.com/a-timely-tim... It would really not be good to pause the blue line. Lots of work has already been done, and it is a good project with lots of benefits. We need more transit, and we're not going to get it if we are pausing any transit projects that come up.

I really don't think they have to build a new arena as target center is still in pretty good shape. This is an alright idea if they were to build a new one, would definitely bring some life back to Nicollet. Otherwise I really like this idea too. alex-schieferdecker.squarespace.com/blog/2024/2/...

Let's get that up to 100,000. If Downtown is going to come "back" and have vitality it needs to have more residents. More residents supports more local businesses in downtown and that increases the streetlife. Prioritize the people living in downtown and make it function as an actual neighborhood.

Another great point by Cashman. As long as transit is not competitive with driving, people will not use transit. If we want to increase our transit ridership, which we do for the economic, social, and climate reasons, we both need to make transit faster, AND driving slower.

The issue with this is, critically, that traffic slows down to a standstill on I-94, specifically right on the ends of the project study. So yes, it "may" be true that stopped vehicles are worse for health, but this kinda proves that I-94 is bad as well.

In case you missed it, here's a great video on the connection between living near an urban interstate and living a shorter, sicker life.

www.startribune.com/north-metro-... This is why we need a stronger Met Council. They need to actually enforce density requirements. Once again, we need an elected Met council.

The solution to zoning in Minneapolis is to zone single family homes a half mile radius around Carol Becker's house to make her happy. Then we do everything as we have been everywhere else because... ZONING CHANGES WORK.

www.startribune.com/met-council-... Personally, I think the Met Council needs to set HARD boundaries on the suburban edge communities that they cannot build out of. Then they need to direct all the development within those boundaries, and focus nearly all development on the central cities.

Hayden gets it, we need to keep pressuring MNDOT to change. The least they can do is to continue to study the boulevard options.

Hey this is really cool. Downtown St. Paul needs more development, and a lot more population, and this is a great way to get that done. Will add to the skyline too which is cool.

Local policies directly affect your life. Especially with housing, what kind you can get, and if you can afford it. This is why it is so important to pay attention, and show up, to local politics.

Meanwhile across the Mississippi, here’s a similar-scale project in Minneapolis, one of the workhorse housing typologies of post-2040 Plan development. “Missing middle” but bigger than a triplex, and no parking!

Bring them all to Minneapolis so we hit an even 1 million. Build three new Light rail lines and high rises across Midtown, Uptown and Downtown.

This is why we lose smart and qualified people, like Cashman, from public service jobs; because people don't know how to behave themselves in public. I know I'm likely preaching to the choir here, but most of the public officials I've met are down to earth and talkative if you just give them respect

This is a great idea. This plus capping the freeway to create up to 394, so you can connect Loring and the Sculpture Garden better. This would make both parks better and would make the neighborhoods so much more connected.

www.startribune.com/final-report... The Twin Cities needs more light rail routes and more transit in general. We can't let this stop us from building more by being too worried it will go wrong. We also should learn from this and how to build more cheaper in the future.

I don't think enough urbanists talk about schools and the impact that schools have on a community. We need better school related policies here as well as better general policies. Specially Minneapolis Public Schools which has a budget crisis, and additional school closures hurt the community.

I also find it funny that he thinks people look back and say "Where were the lawyers" as if lawyers weren't the ones that got us here in the first place.

I think this applies very well here in the Twin Cities, along the Blue line so much space is taken up by Hiawatha that could be used for housing. Along the green line, so much space is taken up by parking that could be used for housing.

It is amazing to look sometimes at the amount of government structures here in the Twin Cities, as well as how many of them overlap in both function and area. This is why having an EFFECTIVE Met council would be (is sometimes) very helpful to move a lot of progress forward.

I started walking the Light rail lines last year. Finished the Blue line, and 1/3 of the Green line. Will pick up again when it gets warmer and greener. But for now I have a bunch of train photos to show up on @streets.mn
