Wine moms have been the central demographic of politics since like 2018

Petition to replace the bendy buses with double deckers on all new express routes (especially highway BRT) +18 ft shorter +40% more seating +aura +much better handling in the winter

PSBRT: instead of a 60 footer every 10 minutes you get one of these every hour

Here we are again

Happy Opening Day

This is a "Charlie Brown had hoes" statement

How it feels to be a Twins fan

Opt-out consolidation is not only good policy for its own merits but also acts as a tee-up for suburb annexation. We should not have a town per 17,000 people on average. That's too many towns, they can't all be real

staff presentation to minneapolis city council on the public training centers. here's the part about atlanta's cop city lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/RCA...

if minneapolis city council members are going to send emails pushing back on people calling the MPD training & wellness center "cop city" because it's different from atlanta, they should make sure city staff aren't going to give a presentation and list atlanta's cop city as part of "market" of these

Very similar to Our Lady of Perpetual Help out in Rapid City

Precision scheduled bus network

Something something "Big Jawn machine"

St. Paul-Eau Claire has two duplicate rail corridors that between them see maybe 7 trains per day. No reason we can't shift all the freight to one and use the other for passenger service other than, y'know, we don't want to

Don't know if I've ever gone from skiing to biking in less than a week before

The best time to buy an EV was two years ago, the second best time is now

Okay, I just want to point out that if you have been considering an electric car, I would really consider doing that quickly because things do not look good re: oil availability and cost. Used EVs are currently a screaming deal. I have a feeling this will not be the case for too much longer.

It's beautiful

If you want more passenger rail, now is the time to contact your representatives! House bill 3176 will be heard in the House Transportation Finance and Policy committee this Monday.

Seeing some of the Colorado ski resorts close before the ones out here is wild

@moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app you guys gotta go on a purge of antisemites here. This shit is spreading like wildfire among the seedier corners of this app. If they want to post shit like this, they should go back to X/Twitter.

The FRA is staffed with the most stereotypical bureaucrats (derogatory) imaginable and we won't see serious progress on passenger rail until that changes

TIL about the towns of Lewiston and Clarkston, on opposite sides of the snake river in Idaho and Washington, respectively

We’re building this!

Just drove by Snelling and University. Looks great!

$1B for a 2 mile long bridge? Sure, easy Same amount for a 130 mile rail line? Well... I don't know...

It was $12.14 to charge my Bolt last night

re: The helicopter circling in the LynLake/Whittier/Wedge area- MPRB Chief Ohotto has informed me that park police assisted MPD on an incident and an arrest in the area. A vehicle was allegedly stopped to attempt to serve a warrant for a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. (cont.)

FR24 shows the state patrol helicopter going east down 94, then back west, down 35W, and is now circling Lake and Pleasant. Doesn't appear to just be randomly terrorizing the neighborhood IMO, but go snoop around see what you find

25k on my bolt and I've done fuck all, not even the tires (although I need to do that soon)

Midwest pow day? Midwest pow day.

Looking at on-line population of various rail projects (within 10 miles of a station, excluding the Twin Cities) NLX: 216k MSP-Fargo, Staples Sub: 428k Otter Tail Line: 575k Most of the jump for the last one is including a stop in Monticello. W/o it's 449k

What's up with Nicollett today?

Spotted at Central Library

Iran has deployed the ultimate blockade to the straight of Hormuz

You can lead a horse to bath water but you can't throw him out

Yep that's the one. Could be yours today for a measly quarter mil! Or probably less because holy fuck this needs work racketmn.com/northeast-mi...

What's the name of that abandoned house on Central and 18th? Looks like it's for sale, $242k

Reminder that there are ways to fight high fuel costs without kneecapping state capacity

You could do this, or you can continue to complain on the internet

Support expanded passenger rail! Ask your legislators to support HF3176 | SF 2887, directing @mndot.mn.gov to submit applications to the Federal Railroad Administration to study two corridors. allaboardmn.org/news/blog/re...

Relatedly: there's 6x as many people working in tourism in the arrowhead than mining, but which group do we always hear about?

Fuck this shit I'm out

LIKE HELL I CAN'T BUY MY OWN REACTOR

Every couple of months I checked @metrotransitmn.bsky.social careers page and I've seen LRT Operators a grand total of ZERO times
