The Nicollet Mall was paid for largely by bus money, as a way to improve the bus service by having a bus-only street.

So if we were to evict the busses from a street that they paid for, they would be justified in asking for that money back. With the State taking Minneapolis tax money, and sending less and less back in LGA, our city can't afford to do that. Do you maybe have a few million extra out there in Waconia that you can contribute?

There is one thing that I think Minneapolis could do that improve my
experience when I visit your city. That is remove the buses from the
Nicolett Mall. My wife and I enjoy dining on the sidewalk outside of Brit's
Pub during the summer except for the buses passing by every 2 minutes (or
whatever their schedule is). The noise and the fumes from the buses are much
more offensive than a few smokers.

Just a suggestion...
