Before you hop in the car for the commute home tonight, try out MinneapolisTrafficMap.com, a new GoogleMaps-powered real-time traffic map. The data comes from MN DOT, but is presented much more sensibly. Some of the cool features include the ability to map your trip, turns cameras off/on, and show accidents and construction.
Exclusive deals, featured events, and the latest from MNSpeak, delivered straight to your inbox.
Can't be more predictable than yankees.
Enh, at least some good came out of it. Eventually.
If Hardy can find his form from two years ago it will be a fantastic trade. Go-go was at best a defensive center fielder. If he could have learne...
I agree. The Yankees are boringly predictable.
This is why the Twins are the Twins and the Yankees are the Yankees. Let's see, should we go for Hardy or Teixera? Hmmm.
I tink peraps it is te curc of Crist, Marybet414.
If I can c(h)ime in...I left the 'H' behind years ago and indeed there is no better way. The church of Crist... Bless you all.
I like the guy, but I have to admit he was a bit disappointing.
Just about every time we went to a game at the dome, you'd hear "fans" (quote marks emphasized) trashing GoGo loudly, which made me want to stand ...

I didn’t realize MNDOT provided the traffic data in XML format.

There’s no traffic on my commute from Uptown to St. Louis Park on the Greenway/SWLRT. I ride but a few yards on Uptown streets, and once that long light at Hwy 7 and Wooddale changes, I’m pretty much home free — although one time a guy hit my bike with his Mercedes.
The bike’s rear wheel and his front license plate frame were the only real victims.

*sigh* My 12 mile commute to Evil Prairie was too much for weak ol’ me to do on the bike more than a couple of times. I have high hopes for this year, though.

It does make you wonder why one of the media outlets in town didn’t do something like this first, doesn’t it?

Actually, we’ve had something similar on wcco.com since it re-launched a couple months ago. Go to wcco.com/traffic. You can do real-time routing, see cameras, etc.

I wish they would take Hiawatha more seriously and add some cameras and traffic info. Otherwise, it’s pretty cool.

No offense, but it’s not nearly as usable. Strib has a MN DOT one too — also not very usable.

None taken. I didn’t design it! I like that the map is so big on the MinneapolisTrafficMap site. The map is the important thing.
