wait they had car parades during Covid?

Even to get to HQ on foot or bike from West River Parkway you have to cross a football field-sized parking lot to get to the front door. Accidental symbolism of their priorities (the previous park board majority, that is)

Do you think she’s lecturing on how you need to suspend the rules to wear a Support Our Neighbors button

Let’s go!!!!! glad it’s onto the next step!

As I was being tailgated down W. River Parkway by a large SUV with tinted windows, the thought occurred to me that it might help if everyone drives a bit slower. Gives observers more time to identify feds.

We have a 20 MPH speed limit on residential streets, let’s weaponize it

Still plenty of time to contact your Commissioners in support of these ammendments!

Yes!! Love this! Can we write-in comments if we can't attend? If so, when would we need to send them in by?

honestly a great idea. As cheap as plastic bollards, and probably much more effective

Well, I can understand the lack of bathrooms downtown then. I often launch nukes from the bathroom.

car covered in snow with banks built up around it from where the plow had to drive around

A lot of people feeling resentful today about snow emergency scofflaws. But you need to remember that never moving your car is the most environmentally friendly way to own a car.

Indeed, the road seems overbuilt - why do they have two-way traffic? Could have cut the budget in half with a one-way!

That stretch of Central near Holy Land/Eastside Food Co-op is IMO the most interesting multi-block walk in Minneapolis. Lots of storefronts close together.

Color me intrigued about muni grocery stores. would the contracts be similar to the park board restaurants (sea salt, pimento) where city owned bldg is leased?

If there is less than 4' of passable space, an ADA grievance should be filed

ohhh the irony of that burnt psychic reader building just hit

Use this as proof that 8' narrow lanes work well for drivers! So well, drivers will go out of their way to enjoy the narrowness!

Allan Klugman is possibly the most honest person i have ever met

(i get that maintenance is needed to keep structures safe, but we can do that in the short-term while looking for ways to phase out any excessive parking in the long-term)

I appreciate Cashman pushing back here and too bad it seems like the council is just a rubber stamp authority. How do we express support for what she’s asking?

No no no! why are they investing in maintenance on parking structures!? They should be spending that money on tearing them down or making street level improvements. Not investing in something that ruins pedestrian experience

I too was confused about the lake's one-ways when I moved here. To go counterflow you're supposed to bike in the road I guess. Feels weird when there's a bikelane right there, but I guess that's the best we got.

Transit is also less effective probably due to lack of land constraints (360° sprawl) and low density. And the highways enable drivers to go an avg of 60mph in any direction for any amount of time even in the heart of the cities. (Soap box: the freeways in the cities need to go!) betterthan94.org

These posts are 💯! I enjoyed reading an outsider's thoughts, love that you found great art. As for transit, bike-to-bus works great for me but otherwise, transfers add up and it's not competitive w/ driving. Not that transit's slow--driving is just SO much faster due to all the grade separated hwys.

Counterpoint: what if we organize a bike swarm to support the restaurant? Show the owner how wrong they are, and bring them along so more people can understand the benefits & joys of bike friendly businesses.

When a street is congested (with cars), it's labeled a "failure" by traffic engineers. But a busy sidewalk, bike lane, or bus is a "success". Why?

Some suburbs already have pockets of dense mixed use - West End in SLP is an example. So clearly there is an appetite for it even in the suburbs!

I'm a bike to bus commuter (and I drive/carpool) so I can say that the delay from downtown Mpls to downtown St Paul is typically less than 7 minutes (not bad at all). At peak rush hour ~10 minutes’ delay, also really reasonable. Even with detours, the 94 bus is so much more relaxing than driving!
