Update on MSP Airport Noise Abatement
The Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) has released the final report
and recommendations of its "MSP Aviation Noise Blue Ribbon Panel," an ad
hoc committee entrusted with the task of devising a new organizational
framework for the MAC's airport noise poll
A cautionary reminder to list members, if your anti-virus program alerts
you to the presence of a virus/worm, choosing DELETE will empty the
contents of your e-mail inbox. If you store e-mails there and you want

I read an interesting article in yesterday's Chicago Sun Times
concerning that city's stepped-up efforts to collect more than $8
million allegedly owed by its top 1000 parking ticket scofflaws.
According to the article, City Hall will attempt to collect the unpaid
fines through waves of lawsuits b

To follow up on my earlier response to Mr. Avidor's question regarding
bicycle lanes on the Nicollet Avenue bridge over Minnehaha Creek, the
city's Public Works plan for the bridge improvement project indicates
that there will be one 7-foot wide lane adjacent to each of the 11-foot
wide traffic la
Mr. Peterson is correct in his assertion that the new north/south runway
(17/35) is intended to provide greater capacity at MSP, but
unfortunately, there won't be any noise relief for the good citizens of
south Minneapolis.
In fact, expect a sharp INCREASE in noise pollution over Minneapolis as
Injured or orphaned wildlife, from squirrels to birds to "exotics" like
baby 'possums, should be transported to the wonderful folks at the
Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Minnesota, a wildlife hospital located

I think one needs to be cautious in characterizing resident opposition
to off-leash dog parks as nothing more than "NIMBYism" in action. It's

opinion and belittle those who may hold a contrary position to one's
own. Let's argue th

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board has called a Public Meeting
to discuss a proposal to locate an off-leash dog park within one of t
The Minnesota Twins' strong-arm tactics should surprise no one, as
they've consistently shown their willingness to let greed be their guide
when it comes to feeding at the public trough. Their last minute list of
demands should be rejected with extreme prejudice. I concur with Mr.
Cygan's conclusi
Commissioner Young's comment on the futility of efforts to curb speeding
on the parkways is both disappointing and unfortunate in light of the
wealth of practical evidence and research data available on effective
traffic calming measures. While I recognize that Ms. Young's viewpoint
does not const
Ms. Nordstrom's comments on pedestrian safety and the degradation of our
parkways by the unlawful actions of certain motorists struck a chord
with me. Her experience with a "thug on wheels" and speeding commuters
is nothing new to anyone who's driven a parkway or visited a park in
recent years. Fo
The citizen advisory group "Lyndale Avenue South Renewal-Creek to

On opening my morning newspaper, I was disappointed but hardly surprised
to learn that our local kingmakers at the Star Tribune have failed to
endorse Scott Benson for City Council in Ward 11. While I bear no ill
will toward Mr. Benson's worthy opponent, I cannot help but be amused by
