All kinds of links for your Monday, starting with two public events:

• An open house on the Central Corridor light-rail line is on Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. in St. Paul; PDF is here.
• The latest Uptown area plan meeting is on Thursday from 7-9 p.m.; click here.

If you just feel like staying home, however, there’s plenty to read and look at:

• More photos from Bike/Walk to Work Day: Alert reader Frosti led a seven-person biking delegation from Minnehaha Park to downtown Minneapolis; his Flickr page is here and includes a photo of a very transportation-y pumpkin.
• Keep it moving: An op-ed piece in Saturday’s Strib calls for fewer bus stops; click here.
• Toxic car seats for kids? Parents who don’t have enough to worry about can click here for a story from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
• Congestion nation: Roadguy is a little late to this party, but this U.S. News and World Report article from a few weeks ago takes an extensive look at traffic problems around the country. The Twin Cities is listed as one of the metro areas where congestion will someday be worse than that of Los Angeles.
• Pink taxis? Crime-plagued Mexico City may set up a network of women-only cabs; click here for a wire story via the Strib.
• Transportation geeks in the Big Apple: Alert reader M. sent along this link to a New York Times story about people who paid $25 apiece to take a three-hour tour of a new subway maintenance facility.
