Our No. 1 metro worry? Transportation
The Met Council survey listed transportation and crime as the top concerns of metro residents. In his State of the Region address, the council's Peter Bell said the LRT Central Corridor is his top priority. In a year that saw the collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge over the Mississippi River, conspicuous construction that has snarled sections of metro roads and constant debate over funding, it may not come as a surprise that transportation emerged as the top concern of metro-area residents. Released Monday at the Metropolitan Council's State of the Region event at the Minneapolis Central Library, a recent survey it commissioned found that 37 percent of Twin Cities metro-area residents identified "traffic congestion, road conditions, limited transit options and other transportation challenges" as the region's top problem.
