»Warmer bus stops, and a way for riders to easily track when the bus they want is actually going to arrive, so they can more efficiently use their time--and not have to wait in the cold.
»Yesterday I read Michael Kimmelman's "In Madrid's Heart, Park Blooms Where a Freeway Once Blighted!" [New York Times, December 27th, 2011]
Is it possible to use such innovative ideas in our 'neck of the woods?'
»AGREED! Like Europe! These old cities were on to something in terms of sustainability. I really hope Fargo embraces urbanism, least we become an ever-expanding land of suburbs.
»How did Performing Arts Center NOT make these final lists? There were multiple ideas around that idea that must've totaled at least 20 "seconds"... shame....
»Take this one step further and also promote ever increasing higher population densities within the city and larger/taller developments in the urban cores.
»I think this also goes towards being an open and welcoming community. It's disgraceful how many comments and posts I read in forums online and the Fargo Forum where people in our community are very vocal and hateful towards these individuals and see them as a negative unwelcome strain on our city. While they are entitled to their opinions, it's disgusting and also reflects poorly on our city when people search online and research about moving to our city and then come across comments as those...
Promote diversity and strengthen programs between the city of Fargo/Moorhead, LSS, and FHA...
»Only within reason... for the most part you can build what you want as long as it meets national/city/state codes and any other property regulations. Also, if your house is going to purposely be hideous out of spite, your neighbors of course are entitled to legally fight and attempt to block you from constructing it.
I'm all about personal freedom, but your's end where mine begin (and vice versa).
»Another thing I've noticed is things in Fargo tend to be built up to minimum code, which usually means the cheapest materials and labor... like the old addage goes, you get what you pay for...
»The city doesn't need to do something about the property, they need to do something about the landlords themselves. The city allows them to get away with packing 6 college students into a tiny rundown 2 bdrm house and charge $1200/month. You can't blame the students either, since you'd be surprised with what they are willing to live in as long as it's affordable... They need to get serious and tough on these landlords and property owners.
»Seriously folks? Only 3 "seconds"? Are you really that content with the offerings of CableOne? *sigh* I don't know what it is about the mentality of the folks in Fargo, but they seem to just take whatever is offered to them (even if it's subpar) and never demand MORE.
»Here's an idea... push the mall to convert to a multi-story structure. Add parking ramps, a few mid-rise/high-rise hotels, an indoor water park, expanded movie theatre with an IMAX screen (it's not really that big of a deal to get these days with digital systems), and finally rework I-29/I-94 so you can get directly into the mall and out without having to sit on 13th, 42nd or 45th....
»Sorry, ignore my comment, I thought you were refering to the 12th Ave. N. viaduct... yes, the 12th Ave. N. bridge needs to be torn down and rebuilt higher/wider.
»Nevermind, saw your other comment... I think the vehicular bridges take precendent over the pedestrian bridges (especially since the pedestrian component can be added to them, like the Main Avenue bridge)
»Are you just referring to when they temporarily close down due to flooding?
»What are the issues with the 12th Ave. N bridge? ... just curious...
