And citizens out there willing to think about these things and take the time for photos and such help get projects like these done. I love the Greenway.
As for the miles driven, I think the tech's coming into it's own to make it practical to turn the roads into toll roads. I'm much more in favor of having a direct, immediate (or at least monthly) impact on people's pocket books. the gas tax was a decent attempt at this (more miles driven == more gas tax paid). But I don't think it reflects the true costs for those miles.

On the Midtown Greenway, I remember making a few posts on convering it to a bikeway back when Ted Mondale was talking about making part of it a trolley route. I took a bunch of pictures of the "Greenway" during Jan-Feb 2000. It got a bit complicated around the old Sears building. I biked a lot from 1979-Mar 2000, while living in St. Paul. I wanted to see a bike trail connections between Uptown, downtown Minneapolis, the U of M's, the fairgrounds, and the State Capitol/downtown St. Paul. I thought the connecting point might be near the tracks a couple blocks north of Selby and west of Snelling, near Pierce. _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Metropolitan Issues Forum http://www.e-democracy.org/tcmetro Rules: Sign posts with real name.
