Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?

I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a tough time

selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is

because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely

unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Comment on New Bike Shelters Installed Downtown by minneapolisite

Now that’s more like it. I would have thought that the bike lockers would actually be more popular in the winter due to the havoc winter riding does to chains, cassettes, etc, so I was surprised they’re waiting til Spring for more users Snow seems to be blowing right under the shelter towards the bikes though. I’d rather see lots more utilitarian/shelter-less street bike parking or even bike racks instead. Max out bike parking in the inner city and move out into less-friendly areas where they’re seeing or creating demand. Tamarack Circle and whatnot.

One whole bike parked there in that picture. Now that they’ve gotten downtown bike parking covered (at the expense of dozens more on-street bike parking all over the city in vastly more bike-friendly settings a la Oak & 18th) what about getting to and from points A and B? Doesn’t look like 3rd and Broad have any bike facilities whatsoever, not even some door-zone bike lanes to give the impression that an effort was made.

Comment on Columbus BikeShare System to Launch in 2013 by minneapolisite

Some locations just don’t make sense. The one at Dorian (?) Commons on S High just north of the highway has no destinations. The one at the Motorists’ Building doesn’t either which is especially questionable when Olde Towne East at Parsons & Oak has numerous spots to walk to but no bike share station planned. Is it for the irony? The “German Village” station is a short walk along a couple of blocks from the other one on destination-rich 3rd St. Franklinton’s is in the middle of nowhere: should be next to the new spots on the east side or the restaurants on W Broad. And the Brewery District’s should be closer north to where all the bars are concentrated. If you want to ride, park, and walk to High-Beck or Double Happiness you have to walk a dozen blocks north and then after a grabbing a bite and a couple beers walk just as many blocks south or park north of the highway where there’s nothing and walk along an anti- pedestrian environment/the highway bridge. Clearly, these locations even at a preliminary level were not well thought out.

Adjusting or removing just a few wonky locations to extend the system north of 1st Ave in the Short North would alone be a huge improvement, especially considering how far removed Franklin Park is, yet it’s slated to get one. It should be obvious that you’d get more riders wanting to ride north of 1st Ave in the Short North than you would around the Bail Bond District and Motorists’ Building. But what do I know, I only live in a city full of these.

…but not on low speed urban streets that are actually designed for low speeds.

It must be remembered that approximately 15 percent of motorists that are killed each year is from impacting roadside trees.
