Hello Minneapolis Folks, I volunteered at the Franklin Ave station for the Sierra Club on Saturday. I rode my bike with the idea of putting my bike on the train on the way back. The turn out was tremendous which made it impossible for me to put my bike on the train.
My gal, and son biked to the 46th St. station and waited in line for an hour and half before finally getting on the train. They met me at Franklin Ave and then I biked to 46th and met them as they got off the train. One of the Metro Transit folks working on Saturday told me that 100% of the buses now have bike racks. This should make biking and bussing much more compatable now. You can bike to work, or even part way and feel confident that a bus will have a rack for you to use. My son organized a group of his friends on Sunday evening and they biked to the 50th St. station and then rode the train down town and back. He is really excited about the LRT and likes that he will be able to bike to the station and then bring his bike with him. I really believe this line will be very successful and we will soon be discussing the next line. Let's now help pass bonding for the North Star Corridor!
