With a project of this size, you need receptionist staff. This "light duty" was being performed by a bus driver who may not have been able to fulfill his driving duties (notice that cane?).
The current alignment will allow new development to occur. St. Paul is hurting financially and could use the additional tax revenue.
I look forward to University Avenue being more bike, pedestrian, and transit friendly. Right now it is a ten mile long armpit.
The planned Central Corridor road construction project would make University Ave. a 40-yard wide strip of concrete with no accommodation for bicycles, a 50% reduction in transit service for passengers getting on and off at numerous major intersections (including: Western, Hamline, Victoria, Pascal, Prior and Cleveland), and a motorway hellhole for pedestrians standing in the middle of the traffic mess waiting for the train or trying to get from one side of the mess to the other.
Is there any photos of the line? IS there and video of where it is going?
