The street markings for the utility relocation project on the corner of Cedar Avenue and 7th Street are beginning to look like some kind of strange modern art piece. Nearly every color code was represented: red for power lines, blue for water, green for sewers, orange for communication cables. What about yellow markings? Are there no gas lines under there mixed in with everything else? The utilities relocation is of course part of the central corridor light rail project that will connect downtown Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul. Not everyone is excited about it especially during these years of disruption, but in the long run I think it will be well worth the effort. Cities have to find ways to get more drivers off the road and and using public transportation.
