University Avenue, the proposed route of the Central Corridor light rail line, has a colorful past that is still evolving. We wanted to know how the light rail line might impact University Avenue yet again, so we visited different points along the route to find the answer.

The view from Prospect Park

Residents in this Minneapolis neighborhood say Central Corridor isn't that big a deal compared to the construction of Interstate 94 in the 1960s.

The car culture

The automobile still rules on University Avenue, but it may one day have to share the street with trains — yet again.

An entertainment destination

University Avenue has a history as an entertainment destination and a gathering place that changes with the times.

Immigrants always welcome

The east end of University Avenue reflects the rich cultural diversity of the people who live and work here, and give this section of the avenue its distinct character.
