It's not just BRT.  The really fantastic thing about this is that
the #1 transportation legislative priority for Minneapolis is dedicated
funding for transit.  As described, the funding would be close to
what was proposed in the citizen-drafted Transportation Choices
2020 bill introduced last session.  More info is here:

A lack of stable, dedicated funding for transit is the #1 reason our
public transport system continues to deteriorate.  The time is now to
fix the problem.
