Everybody says this but I have never noticed a difference. And I’ve probably had Whataburger in 15 counties since the acquisition.

Glendale is the size of four full city blocks on the Stadium Village grid... even at area-standard density it could support thousands of units. The Accolade right across the street will have more apartments than the entirety of Glendale on <10% of the land. So much potential.

Scenes from the Kenilworth Tunnel.
Now structurally complete, the last segment of the Green Line Extension is approaching completion. Final track install begins late April. Kenilworth Trail (might) be open by fall.
Thanks to the Green Line Extension team & UMN ASCE for the tour opportunity.

There aren't even sidewalks out to Valley Creek. Walking to the McDonalds across 494 before sunrise on opening day was pretty unpleasant.

Lots of potential though.

The full-sized loop is cursed but I think it's useful. Adding the RLE this early is silly.

Scenes from the Gold Line. Made it out for the first ever bus (at 4:54 AM) and stuck around for the ribbon cutting and speeches.

This blurry streetview grab shows the screen at Terminal 2. It was installed sometime between 2021 and 2022.

Most of the LRT stations have simple dot-matrix displays but a few select stations and bus hubs have nicer digital screens. I know both of the airport terminal LRT stations have screens like the one in the image.

I had no idea Louisville/Jefferson County had so many tiny, independent suburbs. There are over 80 and most of them have populations under a thousand. The peak populations map (left) is pretty illegible at this scale but you can see the cluster of tiny muncipalities in green on the right map.

COA worked with AISD pretty extensively on the SRTS projects in my area. It took absolutely forever, they were funded in the 2016 bond and only completed this winter, but there's now a remarkably extensive grid of two-way protected bike lanes in an otherwise ordinary suburban neighborhood.

First semester of college in the books and what better way to end it than with a mountain of snow. At least by Texas standards.

Calling it a town with a cool museum a short walk from the central square makes Frisco sound like a quaint little town in rural Texas and not 70 sqmi. of DFW sprawl with a population over 200k lol

But yes, they borrowed the railroad logo. It's better looking than most of the other DFW suburbs logos

What do you want to know? I made this with shapefiles from the state Geospatial Information Office and trawling through the Minnesota Report Card for each school's demographic data. I made a version for Texan school districts back in July.
