@poopy_president @sturm_phil @sdho Richfield has plenty of 1 Β½ story starter homes available. The area adds hundreds of rental units near basic needs, boosting walkability to Cedar Commons. The streets are designed to handle daily traffic, and emergency vehicles can still respond amply.
@UsesTransit@sdho One of the objectives of Maintenance B is replacement and updating of infrastructure to modern standards and improving safety. It would meet the criteria set by MnDOT. Nonetheless I am a supporter of Reduced Freeway.
@sdho Would not be surprised if General Maintenance B prevails here (not that it would be my preferred) but it seems to check off a lot of MnDOTs evaluation criteria.
@sdho Iβm actually a fan of these, sheds some light into the culture/history of the region (Great River Road, etc.) and can lead you down some interesting rabbit holes. I recommend reading the underwhelming history of Avenue of the Saints on I-35!
@sdho An eventual redesign of 77th could include on-street parking, as it has less traffic than Nicollet and shouldn't need double the travel lanes. However, justifying it may be difficult in areas with few consumer destinations and already existing private parking facilities for many.
@sdho@NortonMpls I am neither for nor against billboards, but my main concern is the freeway-like bright white spotlights that light them up at night. It is not the atmosphere you want to create on local or even arterial streets imo
@sdho@SteveSubera Correct. Bloomington, Edina, and St. Louis Park are the same way. I believe they all share a distribution center, and using βMinneapolisβ in the address helps streamline USPS routing. Whatever speeds up mail delivery is best!
@sdho@SteveSubera It is quite odd, there are only 39 parcels in ZIP 55423 that are truly in Minneapolis. North of 62nd and south of HWY 62 by Taft Lake. The rest are Richfield and a handful of parcels in the airport.
