History and Potential of Spur • Built to serve Ford Motor Company
Twin Cities Assembly Plant • Owned by Canadian Pacific Railway • No significant rail activity since
plant closed (2011) • New use of the spur could:
• Expand transportation options • Provide a recreation asset • Support Ford Site redevelopment • Improve neighborhood connections
