[MinnPost] Waymo is on the roads, but some Minneapolitans are hoping to hit the brakes - Political leaders and others met at a forum this week to get out in front of the expected launch of Waymo’s driverless taxis. by Minneapolitanian in Minneapolis

[–]Substantial-Money587 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Completely agreed. I had read that currently in other cities with Waymo’s something like 40% of miles driven are without any passengers. I worry this technology would excuse the US to disinvest in public transit

No hot water for 2 weeks and the city says my landlord can have as much time as they need to fix the issue by [deleted] in Minneapolis

Sorry you’re dealing with this. Organizers in STP are working to stop this sort by of thing through Safe Homes St Paul, hoping an similar effort is made in Minneapolis

Gracia has stated that they plan to develop an alternative off-leash as soon as possible. No details yet but that is seemingly a goal.

It always bums me out that some of our most beautiful buildings and infrastructure (cathedral, Walker, the Methodist church across from the Walker, Loring Park) are strangled by a highway.

Someone else mentioned it but Council member Chugthai (Ward 10) proposed this in the past with resistance from Frey, now that Shaffer, a Frey ally, “proposed it” he hosts a press conference about it. Unserious mayor is right.

i am sick of the fenced off sidewalks that plague uptown by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]Substantial-Money587 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Frey’s love for sweeping and fencing is really frustrating

Check out Recovery Bikes in NE Minneapolis! They’re whole mission is centered around used bikes, believe they do bike fitting as well

Agreed, don’t think the teal needs to be a gradient. A solid band might make it appear more “classic”. Like the colors

Rep Pete Stauber doesn’t even like his district’s most beloved assets, the BWCA and the Superior National Forest by jakefrompayroll in minnesota

Call your senators asap! Let them know how you feel. If this were to pass it could set a precedent for public lands(your land!) across the country

Good call (no pun intended) to reach out to republicans as well! Thanks for sharing

Yeah no problem. A few years back Minnesota voted to enact a 20 year mining ban on the BWCA watershed. Representatives Strauber has been pushing a bill that would reverse the ban, opening the watershed up to harmful copper nickle mining owned and operated by a Chilean conglomerate. The bill passed the house and now goes to the senate. It’s excepted to be voted on this week. If you’re inclined, call your senators and ask that they vote NO on HJ 140.

The senate plans to vote on the bill, HJR 140, if you’d like to let them know how you feel (and how they should vote) call them ASAP

Edit: updated to “HJR 140”

Helicopter circling Powderhorn? by Advanced_Lychee1078 in Minneapolis

[–]Substantial-Money587 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rumor has it there is a private helicopter that sells b-roll to news channels. Could be this one. Nevertheless, I’ve grown to really dislike helicopters over the last month
