Engineer, but not that kind of engineer. Bikes, land use, energy and transit. Minneapolis.

You really do love to see it. That's nearly a quarter million passengers a year. I heartily endorse the Borealis train. I'm literally posting this from one right now.

We're seeing #CatsoftheWedge

Starting off the Twin Cities Brewvet at Sociable Cider Werks. Stop 1 of 23!

It would be nice if elected office was considered, like, a commitment to serve the term you were elected to, and not just an interchangeable private-sector job to do until you get bored and hop to something else, sticking your constituents with a special election at the drop of a hat.

Nothing warms my heart more than hearing the Amtrak conductor announce our arrival into Minneapolis as we pull into Union Depot.

Third byline of the day: Downtown commuting has decreased because of the pandemic. So what does that mean for the Marq2 transit corridor? www.downtownvoices.news/posts/with-c...

With commuting still down from pre-pandemic levels, what's the future of downtown’s Marq2 transit corridor?www.downtownvoices.news Bus routes along Marquette and Second avenues have served mostly suburban riders for years, but that could change soon if buses are moved off of Nicollet Mall, the longtime thoroughfare for local ride...

Holy cow I didn't think this day would ever come.

With Lowry ripped up for reconstruction, eating ice cream at Dream Creamery is quieter and more pleasant than it's ever been.

Once again wishing that Minnesota would put together a coherent and affordable intercity bus system like Colorado has, instead of the patchwork of Jefferson Lines/Land to Air/probably a couple more that I'm unaware of. Downtown Denver to Frisco for $12 is a steal, and it runs every couple of hours.

Transit-oriented astronomical phenomena.

Loving this overview of where we are at on housing from @mnreformer.bsky.social minnesotareformer.com/2024/04/04/d...

Don't trust the locals • Minnesota Reformerminnesotareformer.com People are leaving the coasts because of housing costs. We should welcome them here.

"it's cool to break traffic laws" no it's not, it makes you an asocial loser and you should be severely penalized for repeat infractions, including having your right to operate a vehicle quickly revoked.

I am a sucker for Delta's new flight tracker feature that just shows you Wikipedia articles for whatever you happen to be flying over.

Happy belated uncleared sidewalk reporting season, Minneapolis.

A full decade after it was originally proposed, 200 Central looks like it might be breaking ground.

Holy cow my winter bike might just get some more use after all.

Bluesky's open, quote one picture of your cat to promote your cat.

No better start to a frigid day off than to schedule a doctor's appointment such that I have to be downtown by 8:30 anyway.

Nice to finally have a reason to get the winter bike with the studded tires out.

hi hello if you care about the train, buses and BRT not running after 11 pm in the TC, share the job postings: www.metrotransit.org/drive/?utm_s...

Tfw you realize at 3:30pm on the last Wednesday of the year that you forgot about a specific oddity in the time entry system and you actually have two days of use-it-or-lose-it PTO to burn. See you next year, office.

It's peaceful having a whole office building to myself today, but it involves a lot of aimless walking around to trigger the motion sensors and turn the lights back on.

All right, county flag time.
