My feeling on the 35/36/38th street and 35W ramps are that whoever gets the ramps gets screwed. It doesn't matter which street it is. If you live on that particular street, it's going to suck having all the traffic in your front yard. Because I see it like that, I don't understand why anyone would be pushing for duel street ramps like 35th and 36th street. Why screw over two streets with heavy traffic, when you can get away with just one? Will that be the most efficient way to move cars? No. But is the most efficient way to move cars your ideal way to treat a neighborhood? Living in the neighborhood I don't want busy streets everywhere. Pick one. I don't care much which one, but it should be just one. The other two should be residential. (I'd even give them their boulevards back!) Get the city to COMMIT to one street and keep it. Then people will know which street will be busy and which wont. Businesses and houses can be more stable knowing what the street will be, now and in the future. It's the flip-flopping of residential/commercial streets, and the lack of commitment by the city to "pick one" that has produced this mess in the first place. Tom Holtzleiter King Field 37th Street, a street I picked specifically because there is no bridge over 35W, and with one at 35, 36 and 38, I figure the city will never spend money for another bridge over 37th. A commentary I find to be quite sad, that I have to look at things like that to ensure that the city wont change it's mind on what 37th street is�.commercial or residential. _______________________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - Minnesota E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
