Hennepin County and the Met Council recognize that a well-informed and engaged public strengthens the project and helps create a more useful transit system for all.
The Community Engagement Framework builds on the existing engagement and communications work that has been completed for the Blue Line Extension to date. It describes the context for how and why project staff engage and communicate with the multiple audiences within the corridor and across the region.
Thank you to everyone who commented on the framework over the past month. Project staff reviewed the feedback received and incorporated updates into an updated Community Engagement Framework for the project:
