Here's a map of where streetcars would run on Central Avenue NE if the proposed Nicollet-Central Corridor transit project becomes a reality.
On Wednesday, City of Minneapolis officials released the map showing proposed routes and stops for a streetcar or "enhanced bus" line from south Minneapolis to Columbia Heights.

The corridor study is part of a year-long process designed to settle on a plan that can be presented to federal transit officials in a search for more funding.
If you'd like to learn more about the streetcar plan, three open houses are scheduled for the coming weeks. Somali and Spanish interpreters will be on hand at all three.

Keep it coming to Fridley and dump the light rail as this looks like something one could use when you need it unlike the light rail that runs just in the am and pm a few times.
