METRO TRANSIT B-LINE

Metro Transit is in the planning stages of creating a new rapid transit line to Minneapolis and Saint Paul that would potentially run along RT 21. 

They are doing community engagement and outreach along the bus route starting in late August. 

These are their main questions for the community:
  • Should this rapid transit bus come to Saint Paul, or should it just operate in Minneapolis?
  • What route should it take? It could stick to 21 bus Route, or it could be rerouted.
  • Should it replace the 21 bus entirely?
  • How do businesses feel about the potential trade offs? The bus stops are larger, and may obscure business fronts.
  • How will this impact people with disabilities? Rapid transit bus stops are further apart, and this could create an access barrier in the winter.

Planned community engagement/ outreach activities:
  • Talking to people on the bus and tabling at bus stops
  • Tabling at established community events (SUPC provided a list) and Metro Transit hosting an event.
  • Drop-in office hours at SUPC: we will provide a space for staff to have 1 on 1's with neighbors and businesses
