Editing Edina, Minnesota (section)

====Transit====
Before streetcar service was abandoned in 1954, the [[Twin City Rapid Transit Company]]'s Lake Minnetonka Line went through Edina paralleling 44th Street on dedicated right-of-way. After streetcar service was abandoned, the right-of-way was developed as single family housing. {{Citation needed|date=March 2018}}

=====Commuter rail=====
The [[Dan Patch Line]] and successor [[Minneapolis, Northfield and Southern Railway]] operated interurban service through Edina until 1942. Although in poor condition and rated for speeds less than 35&nbsp;mph, the tracks are still used by freight trains. Under the [[Dan Patch Corridor]] proposal, commuter trains would operate between Minneapolis and Northfield with a station in Edina. A feasibility study was conducted in 2000 and found that ridership would be high but there would be a significant cost to upgrade the corridor for commuter trains. Due to this and strong opposition from residents living near the rail line, the proposal was put on hold until other commuter rail lines could be built. In 2002 a legislative gag order was placed on the project, which forbid the Metropolitan Council, MnDOT, and county rail authorities from discussing, studying, and building commuter rail on the Dan Patch Line.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Talk of the Dan Patch rail line is revived|url=https://www.startribune.com/talk-of-the-dan-patch-rail-line-is-revived/41637167/|access-date=May 8, 2021|website=Star Tribune|date=March 22, 2009 }}</ref> In 2017 the Edina City Council conducted a study on the pros and cons of passenger rail on the Dan Patch Line. The conclusion was to not pursue passenger rail at that time (as of 2018). The legislativ gag order was repealed by the Minnesota Legislature on May 21, 2023.
