The Brooklyn Addition is a part of Minot's central business district and among the oldest parts of the town and includes the name of J.T. Bailey, the County Surveyor for Ward County, North Dakota. The present plan identifies the names of the original streets, a number of which are no longer in use. The map was printed as a promotional item by the Prudential Real Estate & Trust Company of Philadelphia and includes a printed paste down with prices and terms for lots in what would become downtown Minot. The map shows a detailed plan for the town just to the south of the Minnesota and Manitoba Railroad, a line owned by James Jerome Hill. Lot prices range from $15.00 for inside lots nearest the city to $50.00 for the corner lots further away and near the railroad.

  • Biennial Report of the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) for Fiscal Years 2017 to 2019
    William Panos Doug Burgum Director Governor December 2, 2019 The Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota 600 East Boulevard Avenue Bismarck, ND 58505-0001 Governor Burgum: In compliance with Sections 24-02-01 and 54-06-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, I present to you the Biennial Report of the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) for fiscal years 2017 to 2019. The NDDOT worked hard on many projects to maintain the state’s transportation system. A large amount of resources were dedicated to improve safety and traffic movement by enhancing, rebuilding, and repairing highways and bridges throughout North Dakota. The Department’s budget for the 2017–2019 Biennium was $1.27 billion. Compared to the 2015-2017 biennial budget of $2.7 billion, this was a $1.4 billion reduction in State Funds, $80.9 million reduction in State Transportation User Revenue and a $56.9 million increase in Federal Funds. A few of the many accomplishments completed this past biennium include: being selected as one of ten participants in the UAS Integration Pilot Program with U.S. DOT; expanded the motor vehicle self-service kiosk machines to five additional locations throughout the state; launched the Vision Zero initiative to reduce motor vehicle crash fatalities and serious injuries to zero; launched “Track-A-Plow” technology onto our Travel Map for public use; launched ND Moves, the state’s first active and public transportation plan; and developed and implemented the new Urban Grant Program for infrastructure improvement projects within business districts of urban cities. Because of the support of our legislative body, partners, stakeholder groups, and a dedicated group of em- ployees, the Department was able to help meet transportation needs across the state while accomplishing our mission to safely move people and goods.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Purgatory by Jewel Sinclair Project:Pseudonymous Minnesota
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Purgatory by Jewel Sinclair Project:Pseudonymous Minnesota. I know this topic will seem a tad esoteric to the general public but after 30 years as the curator of the Minnesota Historical Society's book collection I just had to share this list with somebody. The Society has the largest collection in the universe of Minnesota fiction and many of these books create thinly veiled places based on the author's experience with an authentic local place. Some of these disguises are fairly pedestrian, such as William McNally's "Capital City" for St. Paul, but others are wonderfully creative, such as Sinclair Lewis's "Northernapolis" for Duluth. Shown above is the cover of one of Dan Brennan's books in which Minneapolis is called "Cereal City". A perfect sobriquet. Since it is nearly impossible for any one person to have read all the older Minnesota fiction and crazy making to attempt to keep up on currently published work, a wiki is the perfect tool for completing this job. I appreciate any and all additions and corrections to my list but especially hope that authors will weigh in. No one knows better than the original author what geographic feature in Minnesota is in the back of their head when they write about a place. Thanks in advance for any help. Contents. The list so far. Adrian, MN = St. Ives (Sonia Gernes The Way to St. Ives . NY; 1982) Badbattle River = Fishhook River, Park Rapids (Jon Hassler North of Hope .
