Gateway Corridor Meetings for District 1

The Gateway Corridor Study has listed an option (Option 6 at the this link) that would bring Light Rail Transit (LRT) through District 1 on either 3rd Street or Minnehaha. A summary of Option 6 is as follows:
The sixth option would also operate LRT from St. Paul to Hudson along a route that veers north of I-94 into St. Paul’s Dayton’s Bluff and Battle Creek Park neighborhoods. Two possible alignments for this option are a St. Paul to Oakdale to Woodbury alignment and a St. Paul to Woodbury alignment. Similar to Option 4, the route would start at the Union Depot in downtown St. Paul, and continue from Seventh Street onto either Minnehaha Avenue or Third Street connecting to Hudson Road near Radio Drive. The route would follow Hudson Road and connect to I-94, then continue to Hudson. Express buses would connect Hudson to Eau Claire.
View a map of the proposed route at this link.

Open houses will be held at the following places and times:

February 23rd, Union Depot, 5-7 pm.

February 24th, Woodbury City Hall, 5-7 pm.

we are also trying to arrange one meeting in District 1 for residents about this proposal - probably for mid to late March. We'll keep you posted.
