Centerville-Vadnais-St. Paul Express This route is identical to the current Centerville express service, except that it uses Centerville Road instead of '-3SE north of its Vadnais Heights stop at Highway 96. This alignment is almost as fast as the backtracking alignment used today, and provides both additional coverage and additional opportunities for few Park-and-Ride locations close to '-3SE. e NelsonlNygaard Consulting 5-10 November 2, 1999
