The Strib has an editorial today on LRT's promise, including the need to tie up "troubling loose ends:"
http://www.startribune.com/stories/561/883029.html "The Hiawatha-Lake station also poses difficulty. No stop on the line offers such delicious potential. Yet neighbors resist efforts to make this desolate corner a more vital place. Fears of gentrification must be overcome by patient explanations that mixed-income neighborhoods can flourish, that local businesses can coexist with national chains and that well-designed higher density will improve, not harm, the neighborhood's value. The key to higher-quality metropolitan living, at Hiawatha-Lake as elsewhere, is more people with fewer cars." Gregory Luce N.
