Metro Transit is opening three new BRTs this year.

At a meeting now, they're talking about how they're gonna ID the next BRT routes. Here are the corridors considered candidates for this.

I dropped Target when they dropped DEI. They were my primary grocery store. I've since switched my primary to Fresh Thyme in Minneapolis and doubt I'll ever look back. They're just off the U of M Transitway a block south of Malcolm Yards.

Hello Bluesky. Regular route bus service and Metro micro service is resuming now. Delays and detours are anticipated while we work to safely get back on schedule. Use NexTrip and Show My Bus to track estimated departures and bus locations in real time. Light rail service continues as normal.

I didn’t realize Bridge Number 9 is closed this summer for renovation. Having Stone Arch and Bridge Number 9 closed at the same time really sucks!

Closing out the year with an early 80s Lotus Legend Compe. Made in Japan by Tsnoda from Italian Columbus steel. I couldn't say no to this one and it'll probably be a keeper too. N+1 getting way outta hand over here.

Information from me about why we are trying new snow operations (it's about changing weather, resident expectations, & ticketing capacity), and a link to an FAQ in comments. www.youtube.com/shorts/0fQMU...

The idea that ”urbanists want to ban cars and force everyone to bike everywhere” comes from a car-centric mindset (assuming everyone must rely on one mode and urbanists just want to swap cars for bikes).

There are zero cities in the world that I know of where you have to bike to function.
In a world of rising populations and growing cars, every cyclist is one less variable in the traffic equation

Made significant investments in energy efficiency, in the past year. Nice to see them making an impact.

Every time someone walks or bikes, does not use a gas vehicle, uses Solar instead of Natural Gas or Electric from a Corporation they are fighting back. Take money out of their mouths, that's what they do to us everyday.
