  Central Corridor (Minnesota) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Central Corridor is the 11-mile stretch between the downtown regions of Minneapolis and Saint Paul in Minnesota, which is currently proceeding with engineering work for a future light rail line to stem the growth of traffic congestion.
It would also mark the return of rail to the corridor, as a streetcar line along University Avenue was the first of four "interurban" connections between Minneapolis and St. Paul as part of the old street railway that served the region.
By the time the Central Corridor project is completed, it is expected that the Northstar Corridor commuter rail line will connect downtown Minneapolis with northwestern suburbs, with a station at or near the north/western terminus of the Hiawatha Line and Central Corridor.

 Central Broward East-West Transit Analysis
The purpose of this Central Broward East/West Transit Alternatives Analysis is to assess the large number of transit initiatives currently being considered in Central Broward County and present the County with a transit system serving east/west travel that is feasible from engineering and public acceptance perspectives, and is fundable.
To do this, the study team is evaluating the need for capital transit in the Central Broward corridor, the alternative alignments, the appropriate technologies, and the necessary and possible land use requirements to support a viable east/west transit system.
Central issues being considered during the study include key destinations served, connectivity with existing and proposed transit systems, effect on roadway congestion, costs and economic impacts, environmental issues, ridership and travel time savings, station design and locations, and linkages between transit and land use.

The Central Corridor was longer than the Eastern Corridor and farther from the dense population; however, it offered a path with limited direct home impacts.
The Western Corridor had the fewest direct home impacts; however, due to its indirect path, it was the longest of the three corridors and the farthest from the populated areas.
