"This weld is our own version of the golden spike for the transcontinental railroad as it connects the Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis," Fuhrmann said. "By connecting Central Corridor Green Line with the Hiawatha Blue Line, we will expand environmentally friendly, affordable transit options for residents of St. Paul, Minneapolis and the region."

How far is StP from Minneapolis?

i live within a block of a stop on the new line, as soon as the 1st train chugs by I am moving. My neighborhood was slowly gentrifying but now its going quickly to hell. plus with only street parking i will probably have to leave my truck (unattended)blocks away from my house.
