What impact does this have in Minneapolis? What is the proposed path of the light rail in South East, around campus and into downtown?
Does it hook up with the existing rail line before coming downtown? I know some St. Paul residents I spoke to last night were concerned about possible loss of affordable housing in St. Paul much liked happend when I-94 was put through the Rondo neighborhood but it sounds from this article like light rail will run right down Univeristy. Even if there is no direct loss of affordabel housing, light rail might raise rents and increase development of surrounding properties making it less affordable for current residents. On the other hand, the bus on University currently takes forever and a train will likely encourage greater ridership and be more convenient for many and hopefully lead to more transit options and routes feeding into the train in the long term which will be helpful to those with lower incomes who don't have cars. Has there been any impact on availibility of affordable housing along the Hiawatha Line due to related development?
