Transit Potential: Arsenal vs. Ford Plant

By on January 3, 2017 in Development, Transit

The Ford Plant and the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (the Arsenal) offer rare opportunities to design new neighborhoods from the ground up.

In terms of transit potential, however, the two could hardly be more different. Transit to […]

The A Line, One Month In

By on July 25, 2016 in Buses

The A Line has been open for about a month now. It’s had a little bit of time to work out minor operational kinks, and get the bus schedule operating smoothly. I live about 5 minutes from an A Line stop, and use it almost daily to get to work, church, and other social events. […]

Sunday Summary – June 19, 2016

By on June 19, 2016 in Summary

By on June 13, 2016 in Accessibility

This is a report on some work my colleagues and I have done evaluating accessibility on the soon-to-open Metro Transit A-Line BRT running from Rosedale to the Blue Line in Minneapolis.

With Denver on the FasTracks, Hoping the Twin Cities Aren’t Derailed

By on May 10, 2016 in Transit

Last month Denver opened its long-awaited A Line train service connecting downtown and Denver International Airport. The twenty-three mile service takes thirty-seven minutes and costs nine dollars each way. The important fact that Minneapolis has had downtown to airport train service for 12 years notwithstanding, the opening of Denver’s A Line is symbolic of something much more. The […]
