Posted May 1, 200817 yr Last stop in my autumn tour. I had a few hours before my flight home, so I rode the Hiawatha Line downtown and walked around and across the river. A little bit of old and new Jet and Foshay Minneapolis's first skyscraper tower, a bit of character amid the modern glitz More of same The Hiawatha Line moves awfully slow downtown, even on a Sunday with little traffic. How will a High Street streetcar work in Columbus traffic? Light rail terminus from a diner Grain Belt! A great sign from a great bridge Bridge from Central Ave to 3rd Ave. downtown NorthEast neighborhood Central and University in NorthEast Crossing the Central Ave. bridge and St. Anthony Falls Old Milwaukee Road station Landmark Romanesque City Hall and tower City Hall from the other side, with light rail Romanesque, Art Deco and modern Skyline from a light rail overpass

May 1, 200817 yr Streetcars generally run around the same pace as vehicles through dense areas like High Street in Cbus. Streetcars work especially well when they are choreographed with the traffic signals.
