Team Update - Land Use and Transportation - December 2024

Land Use and Transportation

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is in the planning and design stages for major corridors like University Avenue (Hwy 47) and Central Avenue (Hwy 65), which makes this a pivotal moment for better transit. The Land Use and Transportation team is advocating for designs that make transit faster, more reliable, and more appealing as an alternative to driving. Central Avenue in particular is a perfect opportunity for a fully-realized Bus Rapid Transit vision, with high ridership and enough width to justify getting it right. Follow along and submit comments to urge MnDot and Metro Transit to prioritize BRT, biking, walking, and rolling, over cars and parking.
