MAP: Where Central Avenue NE Streetcar Would Run and Stop

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.

Read a Fridley Patch Local Voices blog post by Columbia Heights City Councilmember Donna Schmitt: "

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.

This 2007 City of Minneapolis study lays out the logic—and expansion options for a citywide streetcar system.

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.
