If you’ve already commented on the bridge design, here’s some more stuff to read and talk about:

• A 70-mile commute? No problem: Some 300,000 Minnesotans are on their way to work before 6 a.m., and a lot of them are going a long way. Story from Sunday’s Strib is here; related Strib editorial is here.
• Gas tax: Minnesotans are divided on an increase; a story about the Minnesota Poll is here. (Respondents also expressed confidence in the state’s bridges; that story is here.)
• Bridge money: Minnesota Public Radio checks out the funding situation here; a Strib story about unused federal inspection money is here.
• Bridge advice for terrorists? This Pioneer Press story looks at how some inspection reports for fracture-critical bridges aren’t being released.
• Preserving parking spaces for the disabled: A look at efforts around the country can be found in this Associated Press story; a website for reporting handicapped parking fraud is here.
• 130,000 bikes: That’s one estimate of how many are on the streets every day in New York; click here for an Associated Press story on the city’s bicycle boom.
