I drive I-94 to Stillwater every day because it's rational. Here's why that makes me the best argument for tearing it out.

"In fact, I’m the reason you should tear it out."

A GREAT post by @scottbergermn.bsky.social via @streets.mn!

Hopefully, @mndot.mn.gov will FINALLY acknowledge reality of traffic evaporation, pause #ReThinking94 project, and do a full, real assessment of the #Boulevard.

Another Stillwater, MN pathetic understanding of sidewalks. This one they added half a block to connect a park but didn’t even bother finishing the whole block.

I’d like to get a financial and securities expert on the pod. My suspicion is that the $500MM debt was accrued not through baseball but through CRE holdings balloon payments and secured to the Twins Franchise asset.

I call DSI fairly often. Especially when it’s a business.

Which seemingly is also the single best reason to ride transit in the city.

Saint Paul should have vibes akin to the Christmas Market all 52 weeks a year.

Let’s not forget the first several years of Gleeman and Geek covered a perpetually futile franchise.

Although I would argue this is worse than any of the aughts years because it now appears intentional.

I willingly biked down rutted “bike friendly” Summit Ave tonight. AMA.

To be fair, the federal government basically just did that.

I have been gradually planning to write a @streets.mn piece outlining all the reasons Stillwater, MN is disappointing, but could be truly great if it got its priorities straight--which it won't. It should be named the "City of Parking." The entire riverfront is paved and there is almost no shade.

I commute to Stillwater daily and see basically the opposite: a beautiful, but car-dominated downtown with laughably narrow sidewalks, endless parking lots, and a highway for a main street. Hundreds of curb cuts, and weird land use. IMO, Stillwater succeeds despite—not because of—its urban design.

Minnesota’s riverfront cities can learn a lot from Stillwater Removing traffic and building new bridge over the St. Croix River has paid off for tourist-friendly Stillwater.

@blindeke.bsky.social -- we need to talk about Stillwater. Let's just say I think we have a difference of opinion on this one!

We just canceled Disney+ after having it for more than five years straight.

We have small children.

This is getting real.

I, also of Saint Paul, just did the same.

Brand new street in #StillwaterMN and they didn’t extend the sidewalk another 30 feet to fill an isolated sidewalk gap. Truly perplexing. Maple and Owens.

Just heard that @mollycoleman.bsky.social won the Ward 4 election handily, proving (once again!) that the anti-street-safety 'tree truther' SARPA cranks have no juice. Congrats to Molly! I think she can be an excellent St. Paul City Council Member.

If the new owners don’t spend the savings I agree. Can we assume that?

But why expect value for the dead weight, back-end of the 6-yr contract?

If the desirable part of a multi year contract for an aging FA is the early few years, isn’t it actually shrewd to offload the back end years of these expensive contracts? … Assuming they re-spend that money of course.

Data aside, the B line *feels* twice as fast as the 21 to me. Sometimes perception matters as much as actual speeds.

It’s an ugly song. There I said it.

Stillwater on the riverfront for years had a similar sign, year round. I found it obnoxious and so did everyone else apparently, since it saw virtually zero compliance.

This type of thing is put in place by a person who hasn’t ridden a bike since they were a kid.
