A "golden weld" on Wednesday connected the tracks of the planned Central Corridor (aka the Green Line) with the Hiawatha LRT (the Blue Line), the Metropolitan Council announced in a news release. The train connecting Minneapolis to St. Paul won't start running until 2014, but the Met Council aims to have the line 75 percent complete by the end of this year. In addition to serving the five downtown stations already used by Hiawatha, the Central Corridor will create four additional stations in the city - West Bank, East Bank, Stadium Village and Prospect Park/29th Avenue.
