    Minneapolis uses the grid and is built along the Mississippi. In large part, the road closest to the river follows it, intersecting the grid. And a good number of the grid roads use bridges.

      Neat!

      Yeah, it looks like the bigger roads get a lot more latitude to wiggle around funny,xand the smaller ones seem to be chunked out in grids of at least a few blocks.

      I honestly expected more cases of the grid just trying to ignore the river. It looks like the bridges usually cut straight across the river rather than at an angle.
      I wonder if the price of increasing the bridge span isn’t worth the consistency it adds to the grid.
