The transportation bill being finalized in Congress contains money for a light rail transit line in Minneapolis. State and Hennepin county taxpayers are also investing tens of millions in the project. The proposed $370 million LRT line from downtown Minneapolis to the airport would run ten miles along Hiawatha Avenue. It would open for service in 2003. What can people expect? Minnesota Public Radio's Dan Olson visited St. Louis, a metropolitan area about the same size as the Twin Cities, to find out. St. Louis' five year old light rail transit line is a big success. Riders flock to the gleaming, stainless steel, electric powered cars. They glide along seventeen miles of track from East St. Louis, Illinois on one end,across the Mississippi throught St. Louis to the airport - Lambert field - west of St. Louis, stopping at ninteen stations along the way.
