The Central Corridor Light Rail system won’t carry a passenger until 2014, according to the Metropolitan Council, but construction is slated to begin in 2010, if it gets federal approval. A major hurdle in this process was recently passed with last month’s submission of a 4,000 page application.



Summit information
The Neighborhood Transit Summit will be hosted by Third Ward City Councilwoman Diane Hofstede and will take place at the Ritz Theater, 345 15th Street NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413. Registration begins at 5:00 p.m., the program starts at 6:00 p.m. and a post-summit discussion will take place at 9:30 p.m.
For more information, go to Council Member Diane Hofstede’s web site or call her office at 612-673-2203.

The Central Corridor is one of the major transit plans that will be discussed at an October 15th neighborhood summit in Northeast Minneapolis. Two other liness up for discussion are the Bottineau Corridor, and the Northstar Commuter Rail. Buses, streetcars, bike paths, and livability will also be discussed.

One of the key presenters will be Minnesota Department of Transportation Deputy Commissioner Khani Sahebjam. With a quarter decade of experience in civil and structural engineering, Sahebjam was appointed to his current position in May. Additional presentations will be given by University of Minnesota’s College of Design Professor and Dean Thomas Fisher, and select staff from the city of Minneapolis and Hennepin County.

Stories We're Working On

In progress

These are some of the stories we are working on. We invite and encourage you to contribute to these stories, or to suggest other stories that you would like to see covered.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | North Minneapolis We’ll tell you what the judge decides on the flurry of lawsuits around last winter’s Jordan Area Community Council controversy as soon as the decision is made (probably the week of July 6). What do you think about what’s been going on at JACC, in Jordan, and around the Northside? Tell us what you know – and what you think we should be covering.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Background checks bar park volunteers
Minneapolis parks have recently tightened enforcement of rules about background checks for volunteers. But does the “systemic bias of the criminal justice system” mean that many African American males will be barred from serving as volunteers? We want to hear your ideas.

REPORTER’S NOTEBOOK | Hmong Freedom Celebration and Sports Tournament Coming up this weekend! We’re looking for community input about the sports tournament, your experiences at the tournament, how it has changed over the years, what the gathering of Hmong from around the country and around the world means, and any other thoughts you might have about the weekend.

MUSIC | Black Blondie and Foxy Tann knock 'em dead at the Uptown Pride Block Party

By Dwight Hobbes , TC Daily Planet

The Uptown Pride Block Party on June 26 was an LGBT Pride Week affair, but you didn’t need to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender to get with it. For that matter, you didn’t have to have a dime in your pocket. All you had to bring was the willingness to enjoy a damned good time. MORE »
