The metro council is looking for an acronym or catchy name for the proposed new light rail that will connect the downtowns of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It will run past the U of M and down University avenue, past the capitol and into downtown St. Paul. The working name has been the Central Corridor Light Rail Transit. Some thought we could do better naming it. Consider the BART, the Metro, the Tube. Catchy names. We have one light rail line in place in Minneapolis referred to as the Hiawatha line. Another coming from the north will be the Northstar. One alert reader wrote to the St. Paul paper suggesting selling naming rights. It could be called the St. Paul and Minneapolis. (Acronym: SPAM) Since Spam is produced in Minnesota that seems a good choice. It sounds better than my suggestion, U-Go.
