It seems like it would be a good idea to combine the 23 and the 74. Both are slated to be added to the Hi-Frequency network (although the 23 is much lower on the priority list) at similar frequencies.More reason for my Greenway - Hiawatha - Riverview - SPUD LRT service sub-alignment?
Also more reason for interlining Mpls Crosstown buses into DT St. Paul (23, 46, 515?)
Although, as with a lot of fantasy routes, that would be pretty long (18 miles). It would also lose the 74's connection to the Blue Line at 46th St station, but would still have one at 38th St. It would just take longer. They'd also need to find a way to serve the Veteran's Home without degrading service on the rest of the route.
