Hennepin County’s proposed layout for Lyndale Avenue S. falls short.
It’s not a people-first design. It’s a decorated, street-level parking lot, dusted with the occasional confetti of mode shift virtue signals.
No protected bikeways, 24/7 bus lanes, or green space throughout the entire corridor.

Underrated part of Gold and B Line openings is how easy it is to get around downtown St. Paul now. Walk from my office to Lost Fox is a little long to squeeze into the workday(30 min round trip), but can usually make it 15 min by hopping on whichever of the B/Green/Gold Line is arriving next.

After a 20 min delay, just watched my bus get caught at the light a block away for two cycles by cars blocking the lane. Good amount of the traffic were giant pickup trucks seemingly on their way to the Post Malone show. Felt like a simulation meant to piss me off as much as possible.

“We need *balanced* roadways designs” says the Uptown Association, in a city with 1,000 miles of streets & just 20 miles of protected bikelanes.
Balance, to them, is forced car dependency & ensuring we all face the increased safety, health, economic & climate risks that entails.

Coworker messaged me today asking where I park my bike at our office, second coworker to do that in the last year or so. The first started bike commuting last summer and loved it. Lesson: bring your bike helmet into every place you bike, it might just plant a seed in someone’s head

When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not notice all of the evidence of car crashes around you:
bent sign posts
broken car pieces
…entire fences destroyed by drivers 😳
For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲, 🦽 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere.

Traffic evaporation happens every time you narrow roadways or charge tolls, but we still have to convince electeds and planners every single time that it works because they never believe it.
It's still early, but it seems as if traffic evaporation is real.
Data: Congestion Pricing is Not Rerouting Traffic to Other Boroughs - Streetsblog New York City
Traffic on four outerborough bridges dropped in February — defying MTA forecasts for increased traffic outside the congestion relief zone.

With 3 of 6 bike bridges set to be closed simultaneously this summer, + the completion of Hennepin/1st bikeways on the east side of the river, there’s never been a better time for the County to plop down some jersey barriers to protect riders in the dangerous Hennepin/1st bridge bike lanes!

This problem extends far beyond Minnesota.
Across the country, state DOT models ignore induced demand in their highway widening proposals. It's debatable whether they're being deceitful or just ignorant. Either way, their models are wrong.
