This is a map of the entire proposed PRT system. Although this is only a proposal, Council Member Zimmermann has biked every block of this system. No buildings would need to be demolished for the guideways, and most of the system goes along existing transportation corridors.
Green areas on the map represent residential neighborhoods. Other colors represent various types of business zoning. Orange is offices, purple is medium to light industrial, grey and blue are Downtown, and red is general commercial. The red band across the bottom of the map is Lake Street. The blue PRT line a block above that is intended to go along the Midtown Greenway.
Orange crosses represent PRT stations. There are 68 stations and 31 miles of guideway in this system. Blue lines are main lines, and orange lines are local spurs. The new Hiawatha Light-Rail line is indicated in green and black, with stations marked with the train symbols.
