The PPERRIA Transportation/Transit Committee as part of the NRP Process (1994-2002) created a vision of efficient, practical and environmentally appropriate means of transportation within our neighborhood and between Southeast Minneapolis communities.

Several Metro Transit bus routes (16, 3, 120, 63, 30) complement this service.īicycle lanes created and maintained since 2009 on West River Parkway, SE 27h Ave, and along the U of M Transitway north of 4th Street reduce the dependence on automobiles within the neighborhood. Paul border, and Stadium Village at the U of M TCF Bank Gopher Stadium. Two other light rail stations serve Prospect Park: Westgate at the St. and Stadium Village Light Rail Station on the Metro Transit LRT Green Line provide excellent access to both downtowns. The Prospect Park Light Rail Station at SE 29th Ave. Prospect Park's central location in the Twin Cities metro gives it convenient access to main automobile traffic arteries through or near the neighborhood (Interstate 94, SH 280, University Avenue, and Franklin Avenue. It has been waiting for the Socotec report before choosing its next options.Transportation To and through Prospect Park The association has hired its own lawyers and the engineering firm that originally designed the condo towers. What happens next is up to the condo association, with a meeting of condo owners scheduled for next week. So it’s no surprise that construction has been plagued by delays and cost overruns that have pushed the final budget to $2.75 billion and the opening date to 2027.
Ask any railroader about building tunnels, and their answer will be the same: they are complex and cost a lot more than you think. As a result the Kenilworth tunnel was proposed as an alternative to cut down on possible noise and hide the trains.
The decision to keep the railroad and LRT on the same route through the mostly affluent area of Minneapolis remains controversial and prompted litigation seeking to stop the project, an effort that ultimately failed. This enraged Minneapolis officials and residents, who had been promised by LRT planners that co-location would never happen. Eventually it was determined that using that route was impractical for a variety of reasons, and the rail line and LRT would have to coexist through Kenilworth. When the light rail line was first proposed, one of the biggest challenges was a proposed reroute to get the railroad out of Kenilworth, so only the LRT line and a popular regional trail would remain.įor more than a decade TC&W received proposals for a new route, with most centering around rerouting to the former Minneapolis, Northfield & Southern Railway line through suburban St. TC&W uses the line to reach its Class I connections in the Twin Cities. The biggest issue headache for the light rail extension has been the line through the affluent Kenilworth neighborhood, next to a rail line used by Twin Cities & Western and owned by the Metropolitan Council. The condo owners have said that there were no cracks until construction of the tunnel began. The remaining 25% is due to wind, freight train vibrations, deferred maintenance within the condo building, and neighboring light-rail construction, the firm determined. Chicago-based Socotec blamed 75% of the building movement on “seasonal temperature changes,” Fox 9 Television reported. Socotec Engineering, Inc., gave a report to members of the Cedar Isles Condominium Association board Tuesday. The Twin Cities Metropolitan Council, which is building the 14.5-mile Southwest Light Rail/Metro Green Line Extension from Minneapolis to Eden Prairie, halted construction on the Kenilworth Tunnel in late January because of cracks found at nearby condos. MINNEAPOLIS – Construction can resume on a light rail tunnel in Minneapolis after an engineering analysis determined that construction played only minor role in cracks that developed at a nearby condo building.
