'It's very reminiscent of the Rondo': Lawmakers oppose Blue Line extension

Republican lawmakers and local community leaders gathered to voice their opposition to the proposed Blue Line light rail extension. The current project aims to build a light rail train from Target Field through Brooklyn Park , cutting directly through a predominantly Black business district on West Broadway in North Minneapolis. Critics argue the increasingly expensive project will disrupt the community , eliminate essential parking , and displace hundreds of homes and minority-owned businesses.
