Looks Like We’re Going for a Ride! All Aboard to a New Frontier.

Today, it was announced that the feds are contributing $320 million to begin the project of the Northstar Commuter Rail. The rail will run from Big Lake to Minneapolis. In two years, the rail line is projected to provide 
more than 2 million rides annually to downtown Minneapolis from northern metro communities.
This could be good news for Big Lake and Elk River homeowners looking to sell their homes that previously had the objection of it being too long of a commute. Not to mention that it will free up 1 1/2 lanes of traffic on Highway 10 running through several cities to reach Minneapolis.
Big Lake, Elk River, Anoka, Coon Rapids, Fridley and downtown Minneapolis will be the big benefactors in this new travel concept.
