You know, we’ve never actually used the light rail here. We don’t go downtown all that often. I think between a couple baseball games, a trip to the big central library and this football game, we’ve probably been downtown more times in the past six months than we had been in the almost six years we’ve lived here. When we do go, we actually have a pretty straight shot to drive downtown, too, so we usually just drive and find a place to park. I think we’d have to drive nearly all the way downtown to get to the light rail anyways.
They are in the process of extending one of the LRT lines down to Eden Prairie (a suburb southwest of Minneapolis), but it takes us just as long to drive to EP as it does to drive downtown, so I doubt we’ll be utilizing that much.
