call me back when people in the suburbs stop using up and trashing so much of the city infrastructure and services without paying for it. come in to make money, shit around and cost the city a fortune, then go home. you assholes barely even spend any money here aside from parking (and then only sometimes) and the occasional ticket because you can’t be bothered to stop for red lights to let pedestrians cross, or, you know, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN.

PS Kevs,
one anecdote does not a trend make.

Nice supression tactic – you still go to Macalester?

Hey – build a whole two-wheel paradise. What’s stopping you? It’s not like there’s $75 million of strorm sewer work that’s being ignored by those bold leaders at city hall. Build all the Bike Utopia you want. I don’t care.

What I care are Mpls problems don’t stop at the city limit. Like when your teacher pension fund is bankrupt and has to be absorbed into the state’s pension system. Like when your crime trickels over the borders.

Every day the real business of running a municipality plays second fiddle to the childlike whims of those who are ‘playing city’ from council’s chambers. No money to cut the grass, but we will show that travelling circus who loves animals more!

One of the reasons I love going there.

In Mpls. it’s more about the lakes. Good place to see and be seen.

Heh-heh.

It would be nice if MPls paid their own way and the taxpayer did not have to subsidize a bike path but they do. You may not like “suburban trolls” but Guss what they pay more in taxes, thus they will comment on the mess mpls has made of their financial situation.

I see it differently, It is the suburbs that rape the core cities financially.

Anyway, as a hard-core bike commuter I think Minneapolis proper is fairly decent for bicyclists. That doesn’t mean that it can’t get better. Biking in the suburbs is a different story due to all the impolite motorists there. But anyway, I wish for motorists and cyclists to live int peace!

It’s great sitting in an 8am meeting, next to a guy with a sweat stain the size of small continent covering the back of his business shirt, reeking of BO, because he decided to bike to work on an 80 degree morning.

Either find a shower somewhere or get back in the car!

I’m actually surprised. I figured that the Repubs that voted with the DFL to pass it would fall in line on the veto vote. And it looks like the DFL managed to get their members that voted against it to vote for the override.
