Back on track
Article Abstract:
The Minnesota Department of Transportation acquired rights to make the light-rail line in Minneapolis but funds for light-rail did not become available until the late 1990s when Governor Jesse Ventura made it a priority of his administration. The streetcars are back in the form of a swift, modern light-rail line that will eventually form the backbone of a system serving the entire metropolitan area.
