This morning's edit: We agree wholeheartedly with that sentiment, and place our credentials as advocates for pedestrian-friendly design against anyone's. Council Member Dan Niziolek and his allies have the city's best interests at heart. But on close inspection, the logic of the city plan dissolves rather quickly.
It's Hennepin County that has the better idea, and this week the City Council should approve the county's plan. Neighborhood hysteria over "turning Lake Street into a five-lane freeway" is simply unfounded. The county has designed an attractive urban street with a 30 mile-per-hour speed limit and nearly 30 percent more sidewalk space than now exists. http://www.startribune.com/stories/1519/4903909.html David Brauer List manager REMINDERS: 1.
