Land & Space Twin Cities: The Central Corridor is a Go!
http://lstc.blogspot.com/2008/02/central-corridor-is-go.html
Land and Space Twin Cities. Tracking the evolution of the Twin Cities urban landscape. Wednesday, February 27, 2008. The Central Corridor is a Go! The Central Corridor light rail line. Finally got the thumbs-up from the Met Council today, although the plan approved lacks niceties like a tunnel under the U of M. (That lack of tunnel may mean trains running right down the middle of, uh, Washington Avenue on the East Bank. Great work, guys.). One paragraph in the Strib story. The Central Corridor is a Go!

Land and Space Twin Cities. Tracking the evolution of the Twin Cities urban landscape. Wednesday, May 16, 2007. Well, I've been a bad blogger lately. So many interesting development stories in the Twin Cities, and all you get here is the sound of crickets. I'm moving in late May, expecting a child in late June and hopefully going back to school in the fall, but in the meantime will try to be a little more active 'round these here parts. As usual, MNspeak. Are great sources to watch.

Land and Space Twin Cities. Tracking the evolution of the Twin Cities urban landscape. Tuesday, January 15, 2008. More About the Bridge. With all the news. Today about the National Transportation Safety Board safety recommendation stemming from the 35W bridge collapse, it seemed to makes sense to link to the recommendation itself. At five pages, it's fairly short and to the point, and overall a remarkably easy read. Of bridges and other infrastructure to the top of the inspections and other work that's a...
