"As a St. Paul homeboy, I never use Lake unless I'm going to some place along Lake. More often than not, my business is at the west edge (Uptown, Calhoun, Kenwood), and the only way to fly is down the east-west one-ways 26th/28th Sts."
Please do not "fly" through my neighborhood. Yes, 26th/28th are better than Lake Street. And we should not be surprised. They serve different purposes. Lake Street is full of businesses that people want to stop at, spend money and obtain the serves they desire. 26th/28th are through streets that serve funnel traffic only. They are in residential areas and yet are designated as devises to move cars. A rumor that has been floating around the Wedge for decades: MNDOT, during the 1950s had preliminary plans to tear out 26th Street, 28th Street and everything in between, to run a freeway from I-35W to Hwy 100. -Gary Thaden Lowry Hill East Ward 10 Leg.
