    Bit of free advice for the guy who wants a safer route for his daughter to bike to the LRT stop: don’t bike with her on the wrong side of the street.

      I’d hope that was a staged shot and not what they normally do, but yeah.

    “Pedestrian-seductive environment”: I think she just coined that term.

    I love how they spent like a full 2 second shot on the Chipoltle sign like it was some kind of chic Mexican restaurant only found in Hopkins.

    Regardless, video did it’s job. All aboard SWLRT hype train.

    A few years ago advocates of reasonably speedy LRT service felt some relief when Hopkins abandoned its efforts to change the route in order to promote development, a move–like St. Paul’s with the Green Line–that would have slowed the train and made it more like an expensive street car line.
