Lines
The current plans include seven lines, which with the exception of the Midtown Greenway line follow former Twin City Rapid Transit streetcar routes that were ripped up out of the ground in the early 1950s.
It appears as if the Central Line combined with the Nicollet Ave./Mall Line is the most promising line to be built, due to its importance in helping revitalize both Northeast and South Minneapolis

Famous quotes containing the word lines:
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“When first my lines of heavenly joys made mention,
Such was their luster, they did so excel,
That I sought out quaint words and trim invention;
My thoughts began to burnish, sprout, and swell,
Curling with metaphors a plain intention,
Decking the sense as if it were to sell.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
