There is no better way to show the progress on the light rail transit (LRT) construction than with photos. This is the green line which when complete will connect downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis via the Central corridor. Once every couple of weeks I get on my bike and navigate through the closed roads and sidewalks and grab a couple of shots downtown or get in my car and do what I call drive by shooting of the construction along University Ave.
The first picture was taken at Robert street at 14 Street E. If you look straight down the street in the picture you can see the Rossmor condos. This is the Robert street station which is just North of I94 on N. Robert street. The station looks to be almost complete.

In the second picture you can see the state capitol building in the background. This is the Cedar street station near 10th and Cedar. Cedar street south of 10th to 7th street is all dug up and of course closed.

The rail line is scheduled to open on 2014. I am looking forward to the end of the endless contruction.
