Public hearing Nov. 9 on Riverview Corridor locally preferred alternative
 The Riverview Corridor Policy Advisory Committee
(PAC) will hold a public hearing on the draft locally preferred alternative tomorrow (Thursday, Nov. 9) from 5-8 p.m. at Highland Park Senior High School.
The PAC has recommended a modern streetcar route along West 7th
Street as the draft locally preferred alternative. The route would create a new
transit connection between downtown Saint Paul, a number of different
neighborhoods, MSP airport and the Mall of America. It would also provide
connections to the Blue Line and Green Line. The PAC made the decision after
reviewing extensive technical documentation.
The PAC will review public comment and testimony before making a
final selection of a locally preferred alternative on December 14, 2017.

and next steps.
