Noise and Vibration

The information on this page is for the METRO Blue Line Extension project's prior alignment. The original documentation was completed prior to August 2020. The new recommended route now requires additional environmental documentation.

Many people who live, work and use recreational facilities near the route of the Blue Line Extension have expressed interest in the potential noise and vibration impacts of the light rail line. The Metropolitan Council evaluated noise and vibration as part of the Environmental Impact Statement process, including measures to mitigate noise and vibration impacts where necessary. 

The Blue Line Extension Noise and Vibration Fact Sheets provide information on noise and vibration impacts, including how impacts are assessed and typical mitigation measures.
