Imagine if he served as the local government representative on a collectively owned Minnesota Vikings board of directors.
The United States, a country where we have historically underfunded infrastructure, but thats okay because we have some really nice stadiums, that you can only attend if you buy tickets that are way too expensive compared to peer nations.

Which incentivizes blackmailing the government into bankrolling these megaprojects
Sports teams should be a non-profit that is collectively owned by supporters who elect a board of directors and one of the board members should be required to be a member of the local city council.
I love sports! I'm so tired of paying for stadiums owned by billionaires

Another route needs to serve it eventually, but for now Metro Micro can handle it
There needs to be a tunnel under 94 at Hazel an infill station west of White Bear and a connection to the Target (Fuck them for supporting ICE tho), and a bridge at Greenway.
I preferred Tamarack at first, but I respect that Woodbury committed to redeveloping around Bielenburg
Saying it louder for the people in the back....
We don't build new infrastructure in a new corridor in the suburbs lines for day 1 ridership.
It's about long term growth

This is EXACTLY what St. Paul has been warning about all these years.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus the New York Times story about using facial recognition to take away PreCheck and Global Entry from observers, reveals how closely linked these two missions are. There is no separating ICEβs twin missions of ethnic cleansing and ideological terror.

I'm new to a lot of this stuff and it would be useful to learn more and bounce some thoughts off someone.
So what actually is the solution to using their phone and driving.
Because whatever we've been doing isn't making any kind of a dent.
If anything more people are doing it than ever before.
Seems like a perfect time for a pilot program
