Minneapolis approves plan to redevelop area where Kmart store blocked Nicollet Ave. for decades
The 10-acre project area will become the site of mixed use buildings, a park and new bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
The Minneapolis City Council approved a plan Thursday designed to correct what many longtime city residents have called one of the worst development decisions in the city’s history.
Under the new plan, the former Kmart department store and its parking lot which has blocked Nicollet Avenue near Lake Street since the late 1970s, will include mixed-use buildings, park land and new bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
Anyone know if there is an explanation for how they determined the "meets goal"/"doesn't meet goal" the "Comparison of options" slide from the plan link?
I don't understand how the transit option "doesn't meet" the transit goal, but the car option does. Also, why the cars option is ranked better for the bicycle and pedestrian goals. That doesn't make any sense to me.
Welcome to government!
