I don’t often link to other blogs. I’m not sure why. I guess I want people reading my blog to focus on what I’m saying. But today, I am linking to a blog at the Minneapolis Star Tribune newspaper. The blog posting is called “Eden Prairie without a map“. It’s a blog posting about traveling in and out of Eden Prairie. It’s complete with photos and colorful commentary. It’ll take you less than five minutes to read. You can check it out by clicking on this link: Roadguy Blog.
All I can say is that our road system can be difficult to understand sometimes. It was difficult for me to follow when I first came here. But as I talk to my long term staff, I have come to learn that almost every road related oddity in Eden Prairie faced by a member of the driving public has a good reason or rationale for being that way.
We’re constantly working on the system of streets, roads and freeways to improve its navigability. Incrementalism is how a transportation system is built, and that’s how it changes too. It’s a slow process.
