The City of Minneapolis has always strongly supported the vision for Southwest LRT. Our support now comes at a high cost – an unexpected and unwelcome cost – because freight was supposed to be removed. Governor Dayton is correct: the Kenilworth Corridor will not be the same. It could have been far worse, however, if not for the protections secured in this tentative agreement. With freight staying in the corridor, and given the constraints we face, this is the most responsible way to get the project built. Tonight the City of Minneapolis will provide a public briefing and opportunity for public comment on the Southwest Light Rail Transit Project (SWLRT). This meeting will be an adjourned meeting of the City Council’s Transportation and Public Works Committee. Tonight, July 8, 7 p.m. Anwatin Middle School auditorium, 256 Upton Ave. S.
