Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
Is it true that regular buses can't use the BRT bus stops? I regularly get off the bus by Pappy's at WBA and Maryland, and that would be problematic. Also, do cars really stay out of the side-running lanes? The way I've seen cars barrel down the shared turn lane on Maryland makes me think people wou...

Re: Public Transit News / Current Events (MN only)
Anyone know where I can find more info on the rerouting of the #64: "Routing will temporarily change to 7th St. due to 6th St. construction."
The PDF map they give doesn't show where the stops will be or give any details on timing.

What changes do you envision for the #64 and #54?

Re: Transit Crime
Somewhat positive article on fare enforcement: https://www.startribune.com/fare-evaders-beware-metro-transit-is-checking-and-enforcement-is-yielding-results/600334669/ Does anyone know what the enforcement process actually looks like? If someone gets a parking ticket there is ostensibly a state-issu...

Re: Fare-Free Transit
Lack of service; we really should have more 15 min routes by now Unreliability: being 5 minutes late is usually fine unless it causes you to miss a transfer or 3 Awkward stops; getting better but some stops are still a bit of a walk from anything Clumsy payment methods; people have already complain...

Re: Fare-Free Transit
I agree that two routes being fare free is hard to notice. It's when it's system-wide that it would cause a significant shift in behavior. It's funny to read this right after reading a MnPost article on increasing fare checks: https://www.minnpost.com/metro/2023/09/survey-of-metro-transit-riders-sho...

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
The original plan I think wasn't to rebuild that intersection but instead build a bridge over Johnson Parkway from the berm to Phalen Blvd north of that intersection. Maybe that's still the easiest way to go, it just seems like a lot of construction for a short stretch. Avoiding a couple intersectio...

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
Clarence and Hazelwood seem very close.
If it goes this route would they bother going on the berm between Cub and Johnson Pkwy?

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
The Arcade St station has been refined to one alternative on the north side of Phalen with a ped ramp up to Neid/Arcade, and another that detours the bus via Neid, then cuts back to Phalen before the light at Arcade. That alternative keeps the stop at the same grade as Arcade, but is a little more ...

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)
The point of that station all along was to capitalize on the future potential of a derelict strip mall. The potential for future developments at the Wells Street station is much, much less than the potential at the Arcade Street station. Would the development occur? I don't know. Probably not. But f...

From the conversation it was still unclear how the Riverview project would impact the work on West 7th.

MnDOT will be doing a M&O on 7th in downtown St. Paul in the next few years (maybe 2027, maybe sooner). The St. Paul Bicycle Plan had a bicycle facility tentatively on 7th Street. According to the Transportation Committee meeting today the city doesn't currently plan to engage in a study to dete...

Re: Ayd Mill Road
Not to say that it wouldn't be useful, but doing something on Selby has much more significant impacts than on the others: A 12' cycle track, a 3' curb buffer, an 11' travel lane, and an 18' travel/parking lane seems more than adequate and consistent with city width guidelines (and even leaves a cou...
