It is a northerly extension of the Midway Corridor which <br />would provide the connection into downtown St. Paul. Each alignment in <br />the Northwest Corridor could connect directly to the selected alignment in <br />the Midway Corridor and thence to either downtown or points beyond. <br />Proposed Alignments - Three general alignments in the Northwest Corridor <br />are recommended for further study based on an ana7.ysis of right-of-way <br />availability, land use, traffic conditions and other physical and operation <br />constraints. <br />a. Fairgrounds/Snelling Avenue - In this alternative LRT would operate <br />on an aerial structure through the Fairgrounds; on a new alignment <br />through the University of Minnesota north of the Fairgrounds to Roselawn; <br />in the west frontage road of Snelling Avenue to County Road B; on an <br />aerial structure through the County Road B interchange; and along the <br />west side of Snelling Avenue from Rosedale to the terminal station just <br />north of I-694. <br />b. Fairgrounds/Fairview/I-35W - In this alternative LRT would operate on <br />an aerial structure through the State Fairgrounds; on new right-of-way <br />through the University of Minnesota north of the Fairgrounds to Larpenteur <br />Avenue; alora~the east side of Fairview Avenue to County Road B; on the <br />north side of T.H. 36 to I-35W to I-694; along the south side of I-694 <br />to T.H. 96, ending at the terminal station north of I-694. <br />c. Fairgrounds/Fairview/Snelling - In this alternative, LRT would operate <br />on an aerial structure through the Fairgrounds; on new right-of-way througl <br />the University of Minnesota north of the Fairgrounds to Lar enteur Avenue <br />along the east side of Fairview Avenue to County Road B; on an aerial <br />structure over T.H. 36 to Rosedale; and along the west side of Snelling <br />Avenue from Rosedale to the terminal station just north of I-694. <br />• <br />
