BIG milestone for SWLRT project with construction 95% complete, testing and operator training has begun. Today was a chance to celebrate years of work by over 4,000 Minnesotan laborers. The project has catalyzed $3.1 billion in new development with much more to come.

Service starts in 2027.

Strib article confuses two different funding sources. The 2023 bill sent new money to metro counties for bike/pedestrian and to maintain roads/bridges. Hennepin is using that $ for multimodal improvements. The County’s half-cent sales tax remains dedicated to transit (to build but no longer operate)
