Unlike Hiawatha, which mostly goes at 50 mph, the Central Corridor LRT will go 30 mph and stop at lights.
No left turns or crossing University for autos on intersections without signals
Lose signal at Albert.
Heating elements and possibility for District Energy heat.
Bike storage facilities in median next to the rail
A 6" median separates the rail platform from traffic
From Marshall to University, Snelling is at edge of being full.
51 second delay on University at Snelling. Will be 61 second with LRT.
MNDOT study determines Snelling future... currently on hold for lack of staff (additional stimulus projects)... will be done before 2014
Parking solutions report now available: here
Parking Improvement Districts proposed for Raymond, Snelling
Neighborhood Concerns:
not enough time for pedestrians to cross intersection (at Fry)
cars through residential areas (losing mirrors to trucks on Fry when traffic congestion diverts commercial vehicles away from Snelling or I-94)
hot rod cruising on University
Spruce Tree buying up neighborhood, neighborhood is losing owner occupied property
More buses actually mean more parking need for the neighborhood-- need structured parking on E. Snelling/St. Anthony corner.
History of Midway employees parking in neighborhood
Pedestrian friendliness, easy bus transfers and access to/from stores, design that takes weather conditions into account
Upcoming:
