Light Rail would be used if available

I'm a resident of Crystal, and there's a huge need here for reliable public transportation. It's difficult to get to and from the downtown, as well as the airport. With the connections this light rail would potentially provide, My family would benefit greatly.

This would be a major benefit, and a cost savings for many, especially the working poor in our neighborhoods.

My Story~

My work requires that I fly out of MSP quite a bit, and right now I'm paying about $80 per trip in Uber fees, or about the same amount in parking down in Bloomington.

The savings for me would be quite substantial, and I imagine I'm not the only one. My neighbors also travel for work out of MSP.

Rail is the way of the future. I visited China in 2008, and they had an advanced system, with concrete rail ties, overhead cables, and fast moving trains. However, it's possible to carve this type of system into our infrastructure, we would benefit greatly.
