Re: [Mpls] Re: Roosevelt Library
The 6-7 blocks from 23rd Ave to the Hiawatha LRT are short blocks. It wouldn't take that long to walk them. Hopefully there will be bike racks and bike lockers available at the LRT stations to give people the option of a short bike ride to take the train. Mary Gibney Lyndale Question is: How far is too far to walk to a light rail station in Minneapolis? Jim Berg Corcoran Neighborhood (about 2.5 blocks from Lake Street station) John Rocker says, The city needs to increase its density along transit routes, but what both sides of the argument appear to be missing is that the site is almost one-half mile from the light rail stop at 38th and Hiawatha -- and that is twice as far as what is considered standard walking distance from the station. ___ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
Re: [Mpls] Re: Roosevelt Library
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? tom taylor Sheridan Neighborhood [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The 6-7 blocks from 23rd Ave to the Hiawatha LRT are short blocks.

RE: [Mpls] Re: Roosevelt Library
Yes, there will be bike lockers at the stations, and there will be racks to carry bikes on the cars, so you can take your bike with you. 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.
