I keep saying, the trains should just start moving with the doors open. Force them to make a choice!

1 killed, 1 hurt in shooting near Minneapolis Convention Center One man is dead and another injured after a shooting just south of downtown Minneapolis early Friday.

You’d be correct, sadly. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

All Day Service & 10 Minute Effective Headways at Maple Grove Transit Station and Station 73
30 minute headway service on an all day express route

Effective 10 minute headways at primary station with synchronized schedules
This is a route scheduling approach that is recommended based on the overlapping sections of routes that all go through the key stations - either Maple Grove Transit Station or Station 73 - and end in downtown Minneapolis.
By taking all routes that serve those origin and destination points and aligning the schedules, each route may still only come every 30 minutes, but a bus going to the key destination will come every 10 minutes.

Part one of my two part series on the 29th St/midtown corridor is out! I love and bike the Midtown Greenway all the time, but always wanted to learn more about how and why it was built in the first place.

"Kyle Jones got macheted trying to run for park board" would make a great episode, now that the field is clearing.

Northwest Suburbs Consider Changes to Transit Service: https://streets.mn/2025/03/24/northwest-suburbs-transit-service/

Maple Grove Transit and Plymouth MetroLink are looking out 10 years, and teaming up on community engagement, to plan updates to their transit services.

Thrilled to announce that I'm running to be the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board Commissioner for District 4! We have a truly special parks system, and I believe that by working together we can make them even better.

And killing the Volt! China has tons of EVs with range extenders. GM was 15 years ahead of the game and just… gave up.

I appreciate Alec's sincerity and the way that he grounds these issues in humanity. This is a rant, but it is grounded in very human issues of agency and self-knowledge that are under-expressed in a lot of parts of society.

Snow covered parked cars in daylight, long after the snow has ended.

Snow covered parked cars in daylight, long after the snow has ended.

This is a 15 minute parking limit zone. Do any of these cars look like they’ve been here less than 15 minutes?

Loring Park needs more parking meters.

Excellent article from @amityf.bsky.social!

The more I think through this, the more I think buses should stay on Nicollet. For whatever it costs to rebuild these other streets, we can make an amazing Nicollet Mall for pedestrians *and* transit riders.
