University Ave. train ready for crucial votes
What has been impossible for three decades could be reality by the end of the day Wednesday: Everyone agreeing on a light-rail line linking St. Paul and Minneapolis. But between now and then, plenty of work remains to avoid having the long-proposed Central Corridor light-rail line doing what it's done many times in the past: stall. First, elected and appointed leaders on a key advisory panel have to agree on a route. Then, they have to agree on priorities to ensure the nearly $1 billion government project comes in under budget. (Yes, leaders are saying it will.) Then, the Metropolitan Council has to agree, either by unanimous vote or close to it, so that Gov. Tim Pawlenty will endorse the project.
