Hennepin Avenue Line

The Hennepin Avenue Line is a proposed streetcar corridor in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The line would run mostly along Hennepin Avenue from the Uptown Transit Center through Downtown Minneapolis (connecting with the Hiawatha Line at Warehouse District/Hennepin Avenue Station) to the University of Minnesota's East Bank, at which point it would become the University/4th Street Line. The line would cross the Mississippi River on the Hennepin Avenue Bridge.

The line would be 3.9 miles long. The track would cost approximately $80,000,000. The total cost would also include a maintenance facility and streetcars, so that cost would be significantly higher. It would probably be closer to $105,000,000.

Other Proposed Streetcar lines that the Hennepin Avenue Line would cross:

* Midtown Greenway Line or Southwest Corridor Light Rail Line (Southern terminus, depends on final configuration of Southwest Corridor)
* Broadway/Washington Avenue Line (Downtown Minneapolis)
* Central Avenue Line (U of M, East Bank, becomes University/4th Street Line after crossing Central Avenue)

Ridership estimates for the line are approximately 9,500 to 12,000 weekday riders. (This includes the University/4th Street Line also.)
