    Trash trucks, mini-trucks and an eyeball truck at the University of Minnesota, but few EVs (opens the original)

    The fall semester at the University of Minnesota kicked off a few weeks ago and I was once again reminded of how the university is like a little city to itself. From my office window on the West Bank, I have the privilege of watching not just the deluge of students, but the constant preparations of the thousands of university workers who maintain the streets, shrubs and public spaces. I want to confess one small fascination: the variety of vehicles that the university sends around campus. There

    What should Minneapolis do about Waymo? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I attended a conference last spring in San Francisco. It’s one of America’s unique cities in part because the entire range of American transportation technology is seemingly on display. Visitors can ride everything from cable cars (!) to streetcars from different eras to ferries to a late 20th century subway (with an unusually wide track width). For an urbanist, it’s like a living museum. And of course there are the Waymos, automated driverless taxis milling about the city at all hours of the da

    I moved into a loft apartment in Brooklyn in early September 2001, three months after graduating from college in Western Massachusetts. My apartment was in what was then a desolate industrial park, but rent was high enough that I split it with two roommates. For the first 10 days living in New York City, I sent out job and internship applications at a reasonable pace, by mail of course – something straight out of a coming-of-age novel. On that Tuesday, September 11, I had nowhere in particular t

    City, county and state pass the buck on responsibility for historic St. Paul bridge (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    On Aug. 4, spokespeople from both Ramsey County and the city of St. Paul sent out a news release announcing the closure of the Bruce Vento trail underneath East 7th Street, due to dangerous conditions in an historic bridge. But when fences were put up, it closed off the tunnel providing the only southern access to Swede Hollow Park, a major amenity for the East Side and the only car-free path in and out of downtown St. Paul. According to the release, “next steps and timeline for reopening the tr

    Fare compliance is real, but the bigger goal is to change the transit vibe (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If you haven’t been on a Twin Cities light rail train in a few years, you’re not alone. Transit ridership is down over the last five years, still hovering about two-thirds of its pre-COVID peak. There are a lot of interlocking reasons for the decrease, and other U.S. cities have seen greater rebounds. Attracting riders back to the light rail system is a tall order after years of nuisance problems like smoking and disorder. Just like other central public spaces, the transit system bears the brunt
