METRO GOLD LINE

We're connecting communities.

$557 million has been invested along the Gold Line giving residents more places to live, work, shop, and play - all connected by the Gold Line. 

The Gold Line connects St. Paul, Maplewood, Landfall, Oakdale, and Woodbury, but riders can go even further with just one connecting trip. The METRO Green Line and B Line connect with the Gold Line, letting residents reach Minneapolis, Bloomington, and locations such as the Mall of America and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Homes are being built.

Through 2023, communities have permitted 2,300 residential units along the Gold Line, worth more than $330 million.

Affordable housing is a priority, and it comprises 94% of the share of housing permitted and built along the Gold Line through 2023. The Gold Line connects our most economically disadvantaged residents not only with jobs, parks, and businesses, but also affordable housing.

Businesses have the opportunity to grow.

Commercial development worth more than $239 million has been permitted and built on the Gold Line corridor from 2014 through 2023. This development brings more options for shopping, lodging, dining, and more to communities along the line.

Communities invest in amenities and connections where we build transit.

From 2014 through 2023, communities have permitted more than $235 million for schools, churches, and other community spaces and amenities along the Gold Line. That investment connects residents with parks and green spaces, walking and biking paths, public facilities, and more public and institutional development along the Gold Line.

We're creating jobs.

Non-residential development along the Gold Line constitutes nearly 60% of the permitted and built value over the past decade. Development, in general, creates jobs, while enriching community amenities.
