Under this option, <br />additional station locations to the west of a downtown St. Cloud <br />station will be identified. Under both the downtown St. Cloud and <br />the Rice option, a station on the east side of St. Cloud, in the <br />general area south of the "wye" or track juncture, is assumed. <br />
