The Riverview Corridor was a future United States Bus Rapid Transit corridor running from Downtown Saint Paul's Union Depot to the Mall of America using some sections/portions of the proposed Central Corridor and the Hiawatha Line, running parallel to West 7th Street. This project would not be a Light Rail transit way, but rather a busway that could connect the light rail corridors, creating a transit triangle. Extensive study of the corridor [Major Investment Study, 2000] found that limited right-of-way, local opposition, low ridership projections, and high costs limited the potential within the corridor. An Environmental Impact Statement [1]was started on the project in 2002 but never completed. This project has been cancelled due to a lack of funding from the legislature. In place of this development, bus route 54 was improved in 2004.
