[Twin Cities]

I’m pretty impressed bt the Twin Cities first light rail line.  The Hiawatha will connect downtown to the MSP International airport and on to the MOA.  The line has flyovers, tunnels, rail in its own right of way and rail within the streets.   And each station has been designed to fit its site’s surroundings or characteristics.

I'm also jealous.  Are any Detroit city officials taking notes?  They should be...we could use some decent mass transit around here!

This is GREAT news for Minneapolis!
