In reply to Bill Lindeke.

There is plenty of room for LRT in the 94 trench, it could be part of the build-over process. In exchange for development rights above, developers would have to put LRT capable track in their basement, since there should be no costs for land acquisition. The resulting line could support development along the riverfront and begin the connection with the neighbourhood on the other side of the freeway. (See Value Capture :https://streets.mn/2013/01/16/value-capture-funding-infrastructure-uli-minnesota/). The land east of 94 is far too valuable for its current use, which is what it was suitable for 100 years ago. But it would make a fantastic dense neighbourhood. (The buildings would face the sun and downtown - you can't do that in South.)

There are better (and cheaper) solutions for the rest of North than LRT down a street that is too narrow to support it.
