36 Years Later, A ‘Major Step’ Completed in Plymouth’s Station 73 Project

When a teenage Amy Klobuchar rode her bicycle on the shoulder along Highway 55 in the 1970s, the population of Plymouth was about 20,000 people. Klobuchar lived three blocks away from Highway 55, which now serves as a major east-west connection between the western suburbs and Minneapolis. Today, about 30,000 vehicles use Highway 55 daily in a city that has grown to roughly 80,000 people.

That’s usually the point where we pack the snow boots and head somewhere with a climbing frame bigger than anything I can make out of boxes.

Minneapolis Skyways Need a Better Map

Ask almost anyone working on downtown Minneapolis’s recovery about our skyways and the answer comes back as a leasing problem. Too many dark storefronts on the second level; the seemingly obvious fix is to fill them. I see the appeal—landlords desperately need that rent. But the belief that our skyways should keep doing the job they did in 1995, when downtown had a captive daytime workforce and retail with nowhere else to go, is the belief that keeps the system stuck.
