Light Rail Curve at Cedar–Riverside

Light Rail Curve at Cedar–Riverside

April 2019 — The METRO Blue Line curves toward downtown Minneapolis near the Cedar–Riverside neighborhood, passing below the colorful concrete towers of Riverside Plaza at sunset. The complex, designed by architect Ralph Rapson and completed in 1973, is one of the city’s most distinctive examples of Brutalist modernism. This area, once part of the immigrant gateway to Minneapolis, now blends historic structures like the Mixed Blood Theatre with the transit corridor connecting neighborhoods across the city.

Riverside Plaza from the Light Rail Overpass

April 2019 — Riverside Plaza stands tall beyond the METRO Blue Line overpass in the Cedar–Riverside district of Minneapolis. The colorful panels of the 1970s residential towers contrast with the new mid-rise apartments and light rail infrastructure built decades later.
