I don't agree. I've seen tram systems in places like
Amsterdam, Munich and even San Francisco that operate
on city streets much more narrow than, and just as
busy as, University Ave. It can be done. Putting an
LRT North of University would make it much less useful
for people trying to get to or from places on
University. 

The Hiawatha Line is a bad example for University Ave.
It's more like a heavy rail line than an urban tram
line which is what we need in St. Paul.

A subway would be nice but it ain't gonna happen.
