Minor Changes to East River Road/Franklin Ave Intersection Proposed
It will be a timing issue.
The new Light Rail along Central Corridor, set to be finished in 2014, is not only going to change traffic on Washington Avenue.
Other busy traffic areas around the Twin Cities are preparing to handle displaced traffic from this project. One such area is the Franklin Avenue, East River Parkway and 27th Street Intersection.
Revenue shortage puts Bridgeland News on hiatus.
Website to stay up while attempts to regroup are made.
Ok, so it was a long shot to expect a miraculous response to moving our news publication from print to online only. We did get 1,000 folk to subscribe to our weekly email newsletter, but we could only attract $1,500 of advertising to cover a $6,000+ budget. Obviously, this is going to take a bit more time and work, or a new economy, or a new model. Unfortunately, there’s no money to buy that time right now and Bridgeland News is going to have to take a break and regroup. Call it a hiatus in order to determine if resources and interest can be found to have Bridgeland resurfaced. Or maybe even re-papered.
