Proponents of the Southwest Corridor light rail line are considering options for making the proposed project cheaper.

The planned line from downtown Minneapolis to Eden Prairie has run into major hurdles, including the swelling cost.

News this spring that the estimated price tag had reached $2 billion prompted both critics and supporters to question the project, which would be the most expensive transit project in state history.

Met Council Chairperson Adam Duininck joins MPR News' Tom Weber to give us an update.
