This is the first edition of the TruthToTell: Community Connections series, a 12 episode series of special TruthToTell programs looking at key issues facing various communities around the Twin Cities Metro and across Minnesota.

This episode explores the issues arising from a plan to put a light rail line along what’s being called the Bottineau Transitway, starting in downtown Minneapolis and running through or around the North Side and out to Brooklyn Park. We gathered in the meeting rooms of the Minneapolis Urban League on the North Side of Minneapolis.Production assistance was provided by The Alliance for Metropolitan Stability.

TruthToTell: Community Connections is a co-production of CivicMedia-Minnesota, KFAI Radio, and SPNN with major funding provided by The Bush Foundation.
