http://www.startribune.com/stories/368/4684144.html At the bottom of the article is yet another call to raise some taxes.
This is an interesting update on the possible future of light rail growth in the Twin Cities.
One of the interesting issues that this article raised for me, is what the best route would be for a downtown to downtown light rail connection.
As many people know, the University Ave. route is very controversial in St. Paul and I've heard some very persuasive arguments (from light rail supporters), that this route simply doesn't make sense.
So, does anyone have any ideas about what the best route would be for such a line, or what factors are best considered while planning a light rail line.
For example: Some folks have suggested, that University just doesn't have the width to support a light rail line and that the many intersections would force the line to run too slow to be effective.
Any comments?
