It’s all-electric (boogie woogie woogie woogie). Monthly membership rates start at $0, to $30 for hardcore car-sharing aficionados. The first all-renewable-energy municipal car-sharing network in the nation launches in #StPaul-#Minneapolis. twincities.com/2022/05/13/st-… #carshare
Found ya ya right lovely little bugger. I’m a coming for ya!
This ain’t the spot. This is Target’s 🎯 charging station…
There’s two electric vehicle charging stations at most EV Spots — one for Evie car-share users and one for private car users.

Unpopular opinion: “Everything must be data-driven and data is the final word” is stupid. In the following thread, I will illustrate how data in multiple fields should be a starting point, not an ending point for journalistic, legal and even medical inquiry…
1. Renowned law professor Danya Reda just tore apart the “data-driven neutrality” behind the rule making around federal civil procedure. I’m no attorney, but she is… courtslaw.jotwell.com/data-driven-pr…

Mayors Jacob Frey and Melvin Carter just drove an electric Evie Spot car into the press event launching an all-electric car-sharing network for Minneapolis and St. Paul. It’s live now: facebook.com/cityofsaintpau…
Monthly membership ranges from $0 to $30. There’s 70 charging stations now. Frey: “We’re going to be expanding the number of charging stations, the number of vehicles in the fleet, because to be honest we don’t really have an option right now.”
U.S. Sen. Tina Smith: “This project is building out the infrastructure of a clean and green economy…The reality is we are in the midst of a climate crisis that is threatening our economy…our way of living…” This tech offers “real climate action.”

Water. Infrastructure matters, though that’s tough to appreciate until it breaks down.
Everything in red must go. St. Paul Regional Water to tear out 2/3rds of 100-year-old water treatment plant (softening, clarification, pre-carbonation, but not filtration that’s new enough to stay) and replace it with modern tech. Largest treatment plant project in state history!
St. Paul Regional Water serves a lot more than St. Paul — 14 communities, 450,000 paying customers, including wholesale buyers like Roseville. McCarrons Plant was built in 1920s, with additions in ‘30s and ‘50s. Does it urgently need replacing? No. But interest rates are low.

None of these Planning Commission/Port Authority/Advisory Committee on Aging/Neighborhood Star/Board of Zoning Appeals/CAAPB appointments ever strike me as "front page" worthy but I always feel like I should tell somebody when they get made. You're somebody. Now you know! #Stpaul Image
Please tag yourself, your friend or someone who should never, ever have been appointed, how the $Q#%5w6!! did they get on there?
Council Member Dai Thao has asked for 1-week delay ("layover") on following appointments "for clarification": "Approving Mayor’s appointment of Roxanne Draughn and Walter Battle to a 4-year term on the Neighborhood STAR Board. Libby Kantner and Richard Holst to Planning Commish

St. Paul is home to a relatively new seminary/grad school next to @TheLabMinnesota Brewery on Eustis Street. Actually, it’s a 60-year-old seminary/grad school. And it’s growing by leaps. #Stpaul Image

Garage or chapel? Answer: Chapel! ImageImageImage
