Re: Green Line (Central)

Cedar is still closed between 7th and 10th. There is one lane open southbound on Cedar from 12th to 10th. The 7th and Cedar intersection should open next week (Hallelujah!). They've made a lot of progress as well on the sidewalks on Cedar too. I was thinking today to myself I may not recognize downt...

Re: Metropolitan State University Expansion

It would be nice to see LRT expand at least out to the campus. It's such a logical stop.

Construction is expected to begin in the spring of next year and finish by mid '14. The relocation of the Kendall Hardware store took longer than anticipated due to construction difficulties (old building footings from a previous building on their new site).
