	Metroblogging Minneapolis: A better mass transit system (that we already had...)

		With cities which have begun to develop within the last fifty or sixty years, it has been different, for there has been precedent to show them what is possible when an American city really starts to grow.
		An expert in such work has said that "city planning has few functions more important than the restoration of impaired property values." American cities are coming to comprehend that investment in intelligently planned improvements, such as this, have to do not only with city dignity and city self-respect, but that they pay for themselves.
		By the terms of the city charter all ordinances and municipal legal advertising are printed in both English and German, and the "Westliche Post" of St. Louis, a German newspaper founded by the late Emil Pretorius and now conducted by his son, is a powerful organ.

	City Pages - Letters to the Editor
		Light rail transit is a more neighborhood- and environment-friendly alternative to the automobile (and in some ways the bus), an alternative that is long overdue.
		It is a common argument by transit phobics like the "malevolently smiling" Wendell Cox that the Twin Cities don't have the density to support transit.
		The result here in the Twin Cities is that our taxes will be raised and the hope for finding real solutions to the problem of congestion will go unrealized.

		Back in 1867, when Minneapolis businessman (and the city’s first mayor) Dorilus Morrison began laying tracks for a horsecar line on Second Street from Hennepin to Cedar, the city was teeming with enterprising businessmen eager to turn the bustling river town into a city of some prominence.
		In 1875, the Minneapolis City Council granted the company a 50-year franchise to operate the lines, but with the stipulation that they had to be up and running in four months.
		Ridership had fallen dramatically as the population began to shift to the suburbs, and buses were seen as the future of mass transit.

		Avenues considered for streetcar routes were relatively flat, had space to accommodate a rail line, offered natural connection points to other transit, did not duplicate the proposed central corridor line or light-rail lines, and did not have excessive traffic congestion.
		The 1930s saw a major slump in overall transit ridership, and by the late 1940s, many streetcar lines were being replaced by buses.
		The city consultants noted streetcars often attract private funding because streetcars add value to a neighborhood and they tend to catalyze additional economic development.
