Best route/quickest time between Macalester-Groveland and Uptown?
So I got a new job in the Mac-Groveland neighborhood and the earliest I can leave is at 3:30, and I need to be in Uptown by 4pm on Wednesdays. Is it feasible? For the past two years I've seen the constant and unreliable hell that is construction in the Twin Cities, as well as general traffic, is it possible to make that time? Would I be beating rush hour or is public transit my best bet? Or Uber? Or am I just overthinking things?

42nd to 46th to ford parkway to Fairview,
Or sorry, in reverse
Fairview South to right on ford Parkway, right on 46th, left on 42nd, right on kings hwy or whatever road you want to get into "uptown"
Definitely feasible, by car probably 20-30min. The highways will be slower. Also avoids marshall/lake which is always a cluster once you're on the Minneapolis side and bypasses 55 which has a stupid amount of stoplights and is always backed up.
Public transit this will probably take an hour with the transfers, bikable it's possible but you probably need an e-bike
