[Mpls] Bus route changes in response to LRT

I am a supporter of LRT and am excited by it's initial success. I can't say the same for a friend of mine who is transit dependent. He is nearly blind and depends solely on the bus to get to and from work and other places. He does not live close enough to an LRT station to use it. According to

[Mpls] Lake Street traffic and alternatives

I've used both 28th and 28th streets (26th more often) instead of dealing with Lake, and they can be a real timesaver. I recently used 28th to travel from Lyndale to Hiawatha and didn't have to stop once, since all the traffic lights seemed to be better synchronized than on Lake. Probably one of

Re: [Mpls] Lake Street traffic and alternatives

How about eliminating all left turns during rush hour, not just at intersections? Why does Lake street now have to be either 3 lanes or 5? Why not just call the whole thing off and leave it at 4? Or, use the 10s of millions in reconstruction money to bring back the streetcars? Mike Jensvold

Re: [Mpls] Lake Street traffic and alternatives

Nathan Hunstad wrote, in part: I think traffic could be much improved if they were. I think that a three-lane Lake Street with continuous left-turn lanes, combined with better-timed signals, is more than adequate. Perhaps the city could use signs to direct through traffic to 26th and 28th

Re: [Mpls] Lake Street traffic and alternatives

As a St. Paul homeboy, I never use Lake unless I'm going to some place along Lake. More often than not, my business is at the west edge (Uptown, Calhoun, Kenwood), and the only way to fly is down the east-west one-ways 26th/28th Sts. Once in a great while, I like to just drive Lake St. to see
