One of the saddest results of these lights is the destruction of
millions , perhaps hundreds of millions, of migrating birds. On cloudy nights
songbirds apparently mistake the lights on masts, radio towers or tall
buildings for guiding stars ( virtually all songbirds migrate at night ).
Stop eating meat... problem solved!!!

Sounds to me like a job for our Green city council
members to take on. Light pollution has been shown to
negatively impact public health and is a real problem
in downtown neighborhoods and others where lighting up
every nook and cranny has come to be seen as a
necessary safety measure.

I think white strobe lights on top of radio antennae, phone towers and
skyscrapers are ugly visual air pollution
And I want to know if the further spread of white strobe lights in
Minneapolis can be stopped.

Seems I read that the projected cost savings associated with the MPRB
purchase of the Moore property along the river aren't realized for quite a
few years into the future (compared with renting current space), and were
then pretty meager over a 30 year period. Just wondering-- was that cost

My understanding is that the Park Board is looking to operate a small
hydropower station near (or on) St. Anthony falls, to provide electricity
for their operations. Could this have anything to do with their chosen
location?

I agree that the city shouldn't be wasteful and/or
indiscriminate in its destruction
Steve Brandt reports in todays Metro section of the
Strib that MPRB "has struck a nearly $3 million deal
to buy a riverfront building for a headquarters and
maintenance base."
In the second to the last paragraph he reports that
Commissioner Vivian Mason strongly opposes purchasing
the property an
Barb Lickness' point that whatever comes of possible
Dome destruction should take into consideration the
concerns of Eliot Park residents is well taken.
One can only hope as well that the Eliot Park folks
had the foresight to consider the possible destruction
of the Dome in doing their study.
I hope that the people planning for possible
replacement ideas for the dome will work closely with
the people in the Elliot Park neighborhood. This
neighborhood has been greatly affected by the
"marshmallow" building. The amount of land that was
developed into surface parking to accomodate this

David's doing some revolutionary thinking here, as usual, but I can't help
but harken back to all those folks who continue to lament the
construct/deconstruct cycle that I believe makes this city so darned
sterile. Sure, the Dome sits on incredibly valuable land, and, sure, we need
more housing (b

Typical of downtown planners: You've got a perfectly serviceable facility

that's paid for and turning a profit, so let's just tear it down and build
something new. What's the point besides making the construction industry
