SKYWAY ELEVATOR FACES OPPOSITION: In St. Paul, Minnesota, a key link in the downtown skyway is scheduled for replacement this year to accommodate the Central Corridor light-rail project. Central Corridor officials have pledged to construct an interim skyway to link the system, while construction of the mass-transit station is underway. Because it's unclear how long the replacement skyway will stand, lawmakers have proposed requiring the Central Corridor to install an elevator connecting the skyway to the station, though project officials have opposed the requirement. Without an elevator, the temporary skyway would not have access to the station being constructed below.
