Light Rail Developments

Beginning June 14, 2014, visitors to the State Capitol will have a new transportation option – light rail. The new Central Corridor, also called the Green Line, will stop outside of the Capitol complex at Rice Street.

As the Green Line nears its launch, other light rail projects are in the spotlight. The logistics of the Southwest light rail project have been the subject of hot debate in recent years. On April 9, 2014, the Metropolitan Council voted to keep both light rail and freight rail traffic in the Kenilworth Corridor, sending light rail trains through shallow tunnels under the pedestrian and bicycle paths in the scenic area. Next, the five cities along the proposed route must also approve the plan.

As time moves forward, so do transportation expansion efforts. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed Bottineau light rail extension was recently published in March 2014. The Bottineau extension would bring transit connections to communities northwest of Minneapolis, with the final stop in Brooklyn Park.

Find more information on this issue in the Library’s Light Rail & Commuter Transit guide. The guide includes a timeline on transit developments in Minnesota, as well as recent reports, articles, and resources on current and proposed light rail lines.

Recent reports on light rail transit:
