Minneapolis future transit map. Work in progress

This screenshot covers almost the entire area of Minneapolis. The future lines will continue to closely follow historical development patterns from the streetcar era, which favored north-south  axis culminating at Hennepin and Nicollet avenues downtown. And even though Minneapolis has lost a great deal of population density (7,300/ sq mi vs 9600 at its peak in 1950s), many of today’s densiest neighborhoods exist in part thanks to the excellent fixed guideway system of the time.

(Pssst… regular color version is here)
