David Brauer:� Michael's child-entertainment question does point up how "poor" Minneapolis is compared to St. Paul in the obvious amenities.�
Huh? Or in unimaginative parents. I know kids whose parents and relatives found plenty of things to do with them. The question is really �What is really appropriate for a 2-year-old�? The fact is that it takes hardly anything to entertain them. When I babysat kids that age, I would take them to a park to play in sand and swing. What is this notion that you have to start at TWO buying things? You think a 2-year-old even appreciates that sort of thing. And a parent who gets in the consumption mode that early will only have himself to blame later on. tom taylor Sheridan Neighborhood: �Yes, I too am hoping that there will at least be bike racks at the LRT stations but what about being able to take your bike on the train for transportation at the other end?� You mean a �bike car�? Seems ideal for a train since its just another car, one that doesnt have to have windows. I imagine maybe the bike riders could simply get ON with their bikes and ride in that car. Ed Felien :�Unfortunately, there is no provision for bicycle traffic to cross the tracks at some of the more critical and dangerous intersections. You risk your life riding a bike down Lake Street under the overpass, and there is as yet no provision for bicycle or pedestrian traffic at the 46th and Hiawatha intersection. � I ride my bike up from Lake to 32nd and cross there. Pretty nice since they fixed the freight tracks to be smooth. David Piehl: �Yes, PAC and Tom Johnson now officially have received the message loud and clear from all the folks that live along the freeway north of 32nd St to the 2900 block that their plan is not acceptable. Just because residents don't have endless hours and vacation time to devote to a four year process does not imply acceptance or satisfaction. � Sounding like the Hiawatha Re-route all over again. You know, now that they have Internet and workstations in libraries, why can�t they accept �public comment� on boards like this, so that people can not only post their own sentiments, they can read what other public members have to say. ===== Jim Mork (Cooper Neighborhood) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Wellstone!
