Last week, Minnesota’s Senate Capital Investment committee approved a bill that includes $37.5 million in low-interest bonding for the proposed Northstar Corridor commuter-rail system. The full Senate now will consider the measure.

The Northstar Corridor’s 40-mile first phase would run along highways 10 and 47 between Minneapolis and Big Lake, Minn. Under a proposed second phase, the line would extend from Big Lake to St. Cloud.
