Possible RoutesThe Alternatives Analysis conducted in 2007 determined three route options: 1A, 3A, and 3C. The 3C 11th/12th Street sub-alternative was proposed in Fall 2008 during the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) Scoping Period. The routes were chosen for further study based on transportation efficiency and the overall impact to the surrounding area. In fall 2009, the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority recommended LRT 3A as the Southwest Transitway Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA). In 2010 the Metropolitan Council will finalize the LPA selection process for the Southwest Transitway by amending the regional Transportation Policy Plan (TPP) to include LRT 3A. In 2010 the DEIS will be completed for all four alternatives: 1A, 3A, 3C (Nicollet Mall), and 3C (11th/12th Street Sub-Alternative).
