He must have taken a vow of silence regarding success for North Mpls. His "Smart Growth" was not offered to us. I am still on West Bro; in the hood. >From The List Archive... [Mpls] Did you know?/Ted Mondale Slept Here [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 22 23:47:00 2002 Ted, your asleep on this angle. I think West Broadway Ave North is the ideal candidate for Modern Urbanist Implementations. The type of design and infrastructure most often promoted by the Met Council under your leadership probably would fit well on this Avenue of Potential. High density/mixed use developments: We have the land. Adjacent natural amenities: Bounded by Wirth Parkway and the Big Muddy. Commuter infrastructure: We are part of Hwy. 81: We will become the NorthSide's Uptown. A destination. Ease of implementation: The DFL Demolition Juggernaut made it easy. OOPS. (Must pry fingers off keys so as not to allude to recent history) This project has Teddy written all over it? Come over to West Broadway, bring your wonks, I want to help you create the modern urbanist success as we reconnect with adjacent suburbs, DT, and all over. This Avenue, with your strategy, could be the Avenue with Everything. Be a mencsh: Do what no one else has done. Make our Avenue a showplace of your creativity. I, for one, welcome you.
