For the past 5 years Metro Transit has been working to improve waiting facilities for customers and working with community to allocate facility and maintenance resources to best serve our customers with the Better Bus Stops program.
 
This year there are 39 shelter improvements are planned in St Paul. These improvements include the installation of new shelters, as well as adding heat and light to existing shelters throughout the city. Please note some plans may change depending on final design and construction schedules.  
 
Additionally, 29 shelters have been identified for relocation due to low ridership (fewer than 15 people boarding the bus per day). Most of these shelters are located on University Avenue between Fairview Ave and Rice Street. Many of these shelters were added or kept for Route 16 service, but as Green Line has become the primary choice for transit customers in the corridor. Similar relocations were made with several of the west University (Minneapolis) bus stop locations in 2018. Bus service will continue at these bus stop locations.

Summit-University bus stops getting a new shelter:
RT 65 on Dale at Selby (North side)

Summit-University bus stops getting heat and/or light:

​Join us at this year’s Northern Spark Festival in Rondo:
Friday, June 14 and Saturday, June 15
​Links to hours and events below!

Northern Spark is a late-night, free, family-friendly arts festival that lights up the Twin Cities in three neighborhoods: the American Indian Cultural Corridor and Downtown East in Minneapolis, and in the Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul.  

Festival activities are taking place a Hallie Q. Brown Community Center and Rondo Community Library.  A bus that doubles as a Rondo story / history tour will shuttle people in between. 

Northern Spark is produced by Northern Lights.mn, and they have been working for over a year in partnership with Hallie Q. Brown, Penumbra Theater, Aurora St. Anthony Community Development Corp, and Model Cities to plan the festival in Rondo.  

At Hallie Q Brown Center attendees will find 10 projects by Rondo artists ranging from immersive sound and light installation to African drumming and dance to yard sign poetry to storytelling.  There will also be a stage of performances with an Open Mic from 9-10 pm each night. Read more about the projects here.  (Filter by “Rondo”)

This year’s theme, We Are Here: Resilience, Renewal & Regeneration is drawn from community responses in the neighborhoods where the festival takes place and speaks to the power our communities have to claiming space through creative expression. 

If you have been busy this spring and you have some furniture/electronics/bikes/etc. that you need to clear out of your house, then you can't miss this event! This year, we will not have a Drop-Off Cleanup in Summit-University, but you are able to participate in any of the four held around the city. 

The best news is that Summit-University residents are invited to volunteer and volunteers get to drop off one load for free. Save some money, and give back to the community!

The last one for the summer will be on June 22, from 8 am- 1 pm at the Washington Tech Magnet School.
