Nice Ride Station Suggestions

Nice Ride has a pretty cool station suggestion map. I've been playing around with it.

These came to mind immediately (these suggestions come with a south Minneapolis bias):
  • Minnehaha Trail and 50th st -- This would make trips between the Lake Harriet station and Lake Nokomis possible without going over 30 minute limit.
  • Calhoun Village shopping center (just off Midtown Greenway) -- I've regretted not being able to bike to Barnes & Noble a few times. Lots of other shopping in this area.
  • Lyndale Park Gardens -- I enjoy the park. Would make me happy to have a station here.
  • Area just north of Lake St. Target/Cub Foods (just off Midtown Greenway) -- One of the big weaknesses of the current station layout in S. Minneapolis is the lack of stations on the Midtown Greenway, especially as you near Hiawatha. Putting a station here would give great access for errand-running at Target or Cub Foods; and it would serve the interests of recreational riders heading east on the greenway to the Mississippi River and points beyond.

I put them on my own map here.

Put down a couple of suggestions on Nice Ride's map. Love to hear some other ideas in this thread on the forum.
