That article had no new information.  private option makes project more sellable to dumbasses that don't understand/care about financing.  B&M higher interest rate, but shorter construction time.  Cost for airport will be passed on to airlines and users of KCI (in ticket fees).

Why tf would you run after a thief with a gun for some comic books?

Have not read or heard he had a gun. He was an unarmed 40+ white nerd shoplifting and the owner was hit by his car. I think the going after the shoplifter was understandable.

Also, took the kids and Mrs CF3 down to the market yesterday for Mother's Day on the streetcar.

that's a pretty good question, chodester, my guess is because you can either let people walk over you in life or you can stand up for yourself and the crap that you believe in and value.  and you should be able to do those things without fear of getting killed.

you should be able to take a gun and run after someone without fear of getting killed?

He means dedicated bus lane not open to other traffic

you wouldn't be able to drive in the same lane as the streetcar? 

I don't think you're understanding. When clams says there "is no full-time bus lane", he's referring to a dedicated lane that only busses can use. It's not a very good point, but I would be fine giving busses/streetcar dedicated lanes on Main where there is space.

I pretty much only drive on main on Saturday/Sunday afternoons, so maybe it gets more congested than I think, but adding a streetcar seems like a pretty damn minor addition to the traffic

I drive on it every day during rush hour morning and evening and nobody drives in the bus lane anyway because they're mouth breathing morons who can't read signs or follow directions.  Protip: if you're reverse-commuting on Main street, use the Max lane to fly past all other traffic.  But beware the speed trap at St. Paul's Episcopal Day school, cops make their living pulling hayseeds over for speeding there in the morning.  Then they go over to Starbucks to have a good chuckle at all the rubes they nabbed.  But I digress...

Conclusion, even if they totally closed off the Max lane to traffic for streetcar use it wouldn't impact traffic on Main in any meaningful way.

Oh, and sorry for the necroquote...back to whining about the airport I guess?

[Phil Titola]

"From the time we received the call to the time we got there was about 4 minutes and 40 seconds," said Garrett.

"We don't have anyone who was on hold for 17 minutes, so we are looking into that," said Graves.
