Newport Park and Ride Grand Opening 4/27

This is a part of the Red Rock Corridor development and the grand opening will be held on Monday, April 27 from 4-7p at the park and ride.

Why should D1 residents care, you ask??? Well, if you have been past the Lower Afton Park and Ride any time in the last several years, you will notice that it is overflowing and that the overflow impedes traffic on Point Douglas Road as well as interfering in the livability for residents along Point Douglas.

With the opening of the Newport Station (which is actually open now, by the way...), we hope that some of the folks who come to the Lower Afton Station from Newport, Maplewood and even Woodbury, will try the Newport location instead.

The Newport Station has plenty of space, and really nice amenities for commuters. It even has bike racks for those who want to bike to the station and take the bus to downtown.

So check out the event and spread the word...
