Huh? We ARE talking about the same state aren't we? With all the people who run the
red lights, it leaves no nearly enough time to cross the street. That's why I say
give pedestrians a way to cross that doesn't assume motorists who obey the law.

'Quick travel through and around the city'. This seems to be the mantra of

As someone who uses a short stretch of Hiawatha pretty much daily, and
studiously observes the 35 MPH speed limit, I can tell you the 45-55MPH is
the defacto speed limit now. Everybody just whizzes past me, especially
those southbound folks who think the plane will
Again, I suggest that you try it outside
your car before deciding that the pedestrians will be just fine. Start in
Phillips and try biking with your son across Hiawatha Avenue to Ann Sullivan Communication
Center, a great k-8 school on 28th Street.

I agree with Corrie. Try crossing Hiawatha on foot
sometime or better yet, try it in a wheelchair.
In it's current form, Phillips has been gated from
their neighbors to the east, north and west by
freeways. In fact, on the north, the neighborhood
looks at 19 lanes of freeway.

The speed limit on I-35W is 55 mph. Will people respect a 55 mph limit

Now try it outside your car. Try to walk from Coastal Seafood on
Minnehaha 24th to East Phillips Park at 24th Cedar. Then walk
across Hiawatha at 26th Street. Then, just for fun, see if you can
figure out how to get from Target at Minnehaha Lake to anywhere at all
in Phillips without a car

P.S. at the LRT meetings, we also found out that the 46th St. residents
really know how to have a good time.
In addition to asking people about their concerns regarding the LRT
stops, we also asked people what they saw as the biggest advantages to
