Community meetings about the METRO Blue Line Extension route recommendation
A route recommendation identifies a new community-supported route to extend the existing Blue Line from Target Field station in Minneapolis to Crystal, Robbinsdale, and Brooklyn Park. We are hosting in-person and virtual community meetings to share the route recommendation, answer questions, and gather your feedback.
Join us at these in-person and virtual community workshops:
The METRO Blue Line Extension project is exploring multiple options for the route between Target Field Station and West Broadway and between Lyndale Avenue and Irving Avenue in Minneapolis.
We are hosting in-person and virtual community workshops in September to review the route options in these areas, answer your questions and gather feedback. The in-person meetings are focused on the specific route locations listed below and will include open Q&A with staff from 5 - 6 p.m. and a facilitated group discussion from 6 - 7 p.m.
Your input will help us refine the route options in Minneapolis to advance through environmental review, engineering and station area planning.
