Mall of America (Hiawatha Line station) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Mall of America light rail station is on the Hiawatha Line in the Twin Cities region of U.S. state of Minnesota. It services the Mall of America, in the suburb of Bloomington, Minnesota. It is the southern terminus of the line. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mall_of_America_(Hiawatha_Line_station)

Professor Yeti The main impetus is the Hiawatha Light Rail line, which began service last year from downtown Minneapolis to MSP and the Mall of America. But consultants and developers who had handled projects near rail transit stations elsewhere were adamant that the Hiawatha Line station would make high-density development desirable and profitable, so McGough went back to the drawing board for a more ambitious vision. The Mall of America (MoA), located in the Twin Cities suburb of Bloomington, Minnesota, is an international cultural symbol. www.professoryeti.com /20050601/features-citysibling.php

Minneapolis-St. Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bloomington, Minnesota, home of the Mall of America, is the third-largest city in the metro area and is in close contention for third place in the entire state, coming in at just about the same size as Duluth and Rochester in the 2000 census. The Hiawatha Line light rail corridor began regular operations in June 2004, and is also run by Metro Transit. It is common for residents of the Twin Cities area to own or share cabins and other properties along lakes and forested areas in the central and northern regions of the state, and weekend trips "up to the lakes" or "to the cabin" happen through the warmer months. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Minneapolis-St._Paul

Minneapolis Light Rail The line will include 17 stations and link downtown Minneapolis, the Airport and the Mall of America. The Hiawatha Light Rail Transit (LRT) route is the first LRT line planned for the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The City, in cooperation with the Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County, and neighborhood groups, is conducting master planning for the areas around LRT stations. www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us /citywork/light-rail

UTU: News And the line could see scores of new riders headed to the Minneapolis stations that opened in June, thanks to two 600-vehicle park-and-ride lots, 13 bus routes that will connect at the mall and Metro Transit's plans to sell the service to visitors flying into the Twin Cities. That's when trains will run to five new stations, including two with the potential to be huge passenger magnets: the Mall of America and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The Metropolitan Airports Commission, which paid $87 million toward the cost of the two airport stations and a 1.7-mile tunnel beneath its runways, aims to profit from the line's popularity with its Humphrey Terminal contract parking. www.utu.org /worksite/detail_news.cfm?ArticleID=17970

Hiawatha Avenue LRT The line is then planned to emerge from the tunnel on the West Side of the airport and continue south with four proposed stations in Bloomington, including a station in the vicinity of the Mall of America. The proposed LRT will operate on the Hiawatha Avenue/Trunk Highway 55 Corridor linking downtown Minneapolis, the Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) International Airport, and the Mall of America (MOA) in Bloomington. In addition, several major trip generators are also included along the proposed route, including the Mall of America (largest retail complex in the nation), the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, numerous educational and medical facilities and the Metrodome (sports arena). www.fta.dot.gov /library/policy/ns/ns2000/minhiawa.htm

Mall of America Details, Meaning Mall of America Article and Explanation Guide However, the mall is not and has never been the largest in the world; that distinction falls to the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, which reached the Mall of America's approximate size by 1985. The mall is located near the junction of Interstate 494 and Minnesota State Highway 77, and is across the interstate from the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. The line, which is scheduled to open on December 4, 2004, will connect the mall to the airport and downtown Minneapolis. www.e-paranoids.com /m/ma/mall_of_america.html

Minneapolis - Information, Maps, Facts, What to do, Links, and much more. The line opened its first and second phases to the public in 2004, connecting the airport and Bloomington's Mall of America into downtown. It is fair to say that the city was built on the rail lines, since the owners of the streetcar system invested heavily in real estate and intentionally built rails out to their land to spur development. A number of other rail projects including new commuter rail lines linking the city to the suburbs are in the planning stages, and the city council has officially begun "explor[ing] the feasibility of bringing back a streetcar system." [1] (http://www.ci.Minneapolis.mn.us/council/ward9/docs/Streetcar-resl-2004R-317.pdf) Some bus rapid transit lines are also likely to be built in the coming years. www.forwardingsite.com /places/minneapolis.html

TMO - Light Rail Frequently Asked Questions Total trip time from Warehouse District Station in downtown Minneapolis to the Mall of America is 36 minutes. On December 4, 2004, Route 180 was eliminated and replaced by the Hiawatha Line (Route 55). On the rest of the line, traffic lights are preempted to help trains stay on time. www.mplstmo.org /pages/faq_rail.htm

MPR: Is Hiawatha the end of the line? It would bring riders to the Mall of America, and it would be the only line in the country to serve a major airport. As cars of the new Hiawatha light rail service pull into the 50th St. station, she and others enjoy the moment. Others argued for the Hiawatha line since the land was already vacant. news.minnesota.publicradio.org /features/2004/06/25_olsond_lrthistfuture

Ray Cox MN House of Representatives 25B - Home In a short time the second phase of the Hiawatha light rail line will open, extending service to the Mall of America and the airport. The use of the Hiawatha line to attend sporting events at the Metrodome has been huge, with the August 27th Vikings game setting a record use of over 24,000 riders. These increases seem to be in line with school needs and the way that local people want their schools to operate. www.raycox.net /2004_11_01_archive.html

North American Light Rail Projects The line travels from the Warehouse District in downtown Mpls south to the Mall of America. The junction of the two lines is right next to and partically under the Colfax Street bridge and its a double track wye. New line would operate in the I-65 corridor from Downtown to the airport and the southern suburbs. www.lightrail.com /projects.htm

Minneapolis Minneapolis recently opened its first light-rail line, connecting downtown to neighborhoods south of town (eventually it will run to the airport and the Mall of America). The Hiawatha Line, as it's called, was seen by planners as a great way to get to work and big events, like a baseball game or convention. Then add in the operating costs for the BMWs and maintenance for the freeway and parking lots (and keep in mind that fares provide nearly $10 million of the $13 million it costs to run Minneapolis' rail line each year). www.civic-strategies.com /resources/metros/minneapolis-st._paul.htm

Metropolitan Council - Hiawatha Light Rail Transit (LRT) Station Parking Recommendations Hiawatha light rail line: 855 park-and-ride spaces at the Fort Snelling Station; 200 spaces at the Mall of America Station Mall of America Phase II expansion will increase traffic and need for parking. Launch a comprehensive marketing and education program prior to and after opening of transit lines (e.g., "be a good neighbor" postcard campaign, transit trip planner, where parking is available, notices before tickets). www.metrocouncil.org /transportation/lrt/ParkingRecs.htm

Minneapolis: First Car Runs on Hiawatha Light Rail Starter Line Without the proposed alteration, the project has consisted of an 11.6-mile line (see map below) connecting three of the Twin Cities' most popular activity centers – downtown Minneapolis, Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, and the Mall of America (the original design terminated the line across the street from the mall). Ridership for the Hiawatha starter line is Projected at 19,300 rider-trips per day in 2004, the first year of service, increasing to 24,800 in 2020.

Fraters Libertas This is the latest and unfortunately probably not the last update on the projected cost to build the super fabulous Hiawatha light rail line to connect downtown Minneapolis and the Mall of America. Rerouting the Hiawatha light-rail line through Bloomington to take passengers directly to the Mall of America, in addition to adding more parking, would cost $35 to $45 million, project officials reported Tuesday. A stop there would allow the rail line to deliver passengers directly to the mall's door and within steps of connecting bus routes, Setzer said. www.fraterslibertas.com /2003_05_01_archive.html

Late Breaking Rail Industry News North America's railroads have offered to assemble a team of experts to travel to South Asia to help rebuild critical rail lines that were destroyed by the tsunami that hit that region on December 26. Station renovation work was modified and grouped into five separate packages according to location to help reduce the overall cost of station construction. The mileage-based fuel surcharge will apply to movements that originate and terminate on BNSF, and to the BNSF portion of Rule 11 shipments, a type of interline shipment where each carrier bills the customer separately for their services. www.rtands.com /breaking_news_archive.shtml

Metroblogging Minneapolis It had the same pop in it..." I said yes because I had waited in line for awhile just to get my soda. Don't bother with the fact that the album came out way earlier this year and has been played on just about EVERY OTHER radio station in the cities. We started at Minnehaha Park, followed the parkway over towards Lake Harriet, up past Lake Calhoun, into Uptown, out the Greenway to Hiawatha, north towards Franklin, west to West River Road, and then back down to where we started. minneapolis.metblogs.com
