SOUTHWEST LIGHT-RAIL LINE: If you want to weigh in on the routing of the proposed Southwest light-rail line, there’s a meeting Tuesday afternoon at the Hennepin County Government Center. Similar events will be held on the 14th in St. Louis Park and on the 23rd in Eden Prairie. Click here for the list. If Roadguy’s mailbox is any indication, we’ll be seeing some spirited discussion in the next few months about where the line should go in Minneapolis — Kenwood? Uptown? Nicollet Avenue?

TWO-WAY TRAFFIC ON HENNEPIN: The city of Minneapolis plans to change Hennepin Avenue and 1st Avenue N. in downtown from one-way to two-way traffic operation by the end of 2009. This will affect car, bike and bus traffic. There’s a meeting from 5-6 p.m. this Wednesday at the Minneapolis Central Library (it’s in the Doty Board Room, the news release says).

THIRD WARD SUMMIT: Next Wednesday the 15th, there’s a transportation-related summit in Minneapolis’ Third Ward. Topics include light rail, commuter rail, traffic congestion, the Lowry Avenue Bridge, bicycling, and more. The all-evening event is at the Ritz Theater, 345 13th Ave. NE. Registration is at 5 p.m., program starts at 6 p.m., post-summit discussion starts at 9:30 p.m
