A series of three open house meetings is scheduled to give the public an opportunity to learn about modern streetcar and enhanced bus options being considered on a key route through the city, and to share their ideas on improving transit service. The City of Minneapolis is examining options to improve public transit along the busy corridor that includes Nicollet Avenue through south Minneapolis and downtown and Central Avenue in Northeast.

The open houses will provide an overview of the Nicollet-Central Transit Alternatives Study, which is just beginning and will continue into 2013.  The study will identify a preferred transit enhancement that could serve as the first phase of a longer-ranger vision for transit service in the corridor.

The corridor extends from the 46th Street/Interstate 35W Transit Station and Nicollet Avenue on the south, through Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, over the Hennepin Avenue Bridge, and north along Central Avenue NE to the Columbia Heights Transit Center on Central Avenue at 41st Avenue NE.

Open houses are being held:

  • Wednesday, Sept. 26, 11 a.m. to      1 p.m.
    Minneapolis Central Library, 300 Nicollet Mall
  • Wednesday, Sept. 26, 5:30 to      7:30 p.m.
    5th Precinct Police Station, 3101 Nicollet Avenue S
  • Thursday, Sept. 27, 5:30 to      7:30 p.m.
    Eastside Food Co-op, 2551 Central Avenue NE

A quick online survey is also available to collect public input on transit needs and opportunities in the Corridor.  To complete the survey, to sign up for email updates, or for more information, go to the project website:   www.minneapolismn.gov/nicollet-central.

The City of Minneapolis invites and encourages participation by every resident to each program, service and event within our city. The open houses are wheelchair accessible.  Should you require an accommodation in order for you to fully participate, please let us know by contacting Anna Flintoft at 612-673-3885 or anna.flintoft@minneapolismn.gov.
