The Central Corridor

By a vote of 15-2 yesterday, the Met Council approved the Central Corridor light rail line to be taken to the next level: The Federal Level. If the Feds approve the plan, construction could begin as soon as 2010, with a science-fiction film sounding completion date of 2014...kinda like 2022 or 2019...

Roughly 11 miles in length, the Central Corridor will connect the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul...yet it is unknown whether the ride will make you as fucking insane as the 16 bus route does. It's also unclear whether or not the final stop in St. Paul will land you smack in front of a strip club, as it currently does in Minneapolis.
