  • Comments for Southwest Transitway DEIS Scoping Document
    From: Todd Larson To: [email protected] Subject: SW LRT Comment Date: 10/14/200808:18 AM Hello, I live a few blocks from the proposed Wooddale station. The proposed alignments that would go through Uptown or Nicollet would be a really slow trip. The 667 bus that I take would be a much faster ride. The Kenilworth route looks like it might be the fastest. Uptown and Nicollet are served by buses every couple minutes, so they really don't need the proposed LRT. Thanks, Todd Larson 3020 Colorado Ave. S. Stlouis Park I. O(~5 From: arthur higinbotham To: swcorridor Subject: DEISInput Date: 10/29/2008 02:05 PM Attachments: SW LRTALTERNATIVE 3C IMPROVEMENTS.doc ALTERNATIVE LRT STATION LOCATION FOR GREENWAY.doc Please consider the attached as input to the DEIS Commentary on the SW LRT. lOlCoS- ALTERNATIVE LRT STATION LOCATION FOR GREENWAY LRTROUTE Ifthe SWAA study on ridership and other factors indicate that the Kenilworth corridor is the preferred route for the Southwest LRT, then the proposed park-and-ride station at Lake S1. is the only feasible location for a stop in the CIDNA neighborhood. If, however, the study shows that an LRT route along the Greenway and then down Nicollet Avenue is preferred and recommended, then consideration should be given to locating the station at Dean Parkway instead ofat the current proposed Lake St. site for the following reasons: 1. The ridership may be greater from a Dean Parkway location than the Lake S1. location, given the proximity ofhigh density residences, such as the Calhoun Beach Club and apartments, Lake Pointe tower, and the yet incomplete Lander and Ackerberg projects, as well as apartments on Dean Parkway and the Dean Court complex.

  • Golden Gophers "Arrive" for 1978 Grid Season
    ATe Golden Gophers "Arrive" for 1978 Grid Season An "arriving" University of Minnesota Football team will make six appearances in Memorial Stadium this fall with the lid-lifter on tap against the University of Toledo on Saturday, Sept. 16. The fact that three of last year's standouts were taken in the second round of the 1978 NFL draft has lead head coach Cal Stoll to a pair of logical pre-season conclusions and in the pro­ cess gives Gopher fans a reason to appear optimistic when discussing the upcoming campaign. "First" Stoll says, "it means we have three giant holes to fill because of the loss of linebackers Michael Hunt and Steve Stewart as well as defensive end Mark Merrill. Second, and more important, it means our program has come of age." There are more holes in Minnesota's lineup created by graduation losses than the three mentioned, but Stoll believes "We have better material returning than in any of our six previous years at Minnesota. We had our best spring practice ever in terms of accomplishment, in improved concepts and in techniques. Player attitude was excellent." Stoll also points to other evidence of Minnesota football ar­ riving. "Another plus for our program came at the end of last season." he says. "After finishing 7-4 with major victories Captain Stan Sytsma and Coach Cal Stoll over Michigan, UCLA and Washington, we received an invita­ tion to play in the first Hall of Fame Classic at Birmingham, ALA. That we lost 17-7 is one thing. That we gained three ex­ Saturday Afternoon Fever tra weeks of practice, experience and exposure for our players and program is another." Is '78 Gold Country Theme One item underscoring Stoll's hope for 1978 is the return of 31 lettermen and an additional delegation of players with game Saturday Afternoon Fever! That's the theme in Gold Coun­ experience.
