This is more “central 38th Street” than the eastern stretch covered in this thread, but the city is doing something called “Thirty-Eighth Street THRIVE Strategic Development Plan”, covering Nicollet to Bloomington.

Re: East 38th Street & 38th St Station Development
Anyone heard anything new about the 38th Street Station apartments? They’ve demolished 2 of the houses behind The Cardinal.
Re: East 38th Street & 38th St Station Development
This one looks close- https://www.citylinempls.com/. I’ll try to snap a pic one of these evenings.

love the fact that one of their home page images has what appears to be a mountain view out the front door

Re: East 38th Street & 38th St Station Development
Metro Transit applied for Regional Solicitation federal funding to reconfigure 38th St Station and add some transit oriented development. In some ways, the proposal looks similar to 46th St Station in terms of a development surrounded by bus stops. It appears they've had some operational issues with buses leaving the station so buses would travel to 29th Ave to exit the station rather than the driveway they currently do. The project was awarded around $5 million for a total cost of around $6.5 million.

Re: East 38th Street & 38th St Station Development
Interestingly, that document mentions a large apartment building to be constructed where the ADM mill is across 38th. Anyone seen this elsewhere? New project or stalled old one?
A new apartment building planned for 3716 Dight Ave S will include 500 units, of which 125 will be restricted to renters making 50% and 60% AMI. Another residential development is planned near the station that will not have restricted affordable units, but is planned to have 40 studio units and 62 one bedroom units available at 80% AMI based on market rents in the area. Though not subsidized, these additional units will still provide needed housing, potentially relieving pressure on the affordable housing market.

This was the plan a few years ago. Glad to see there is still life to this one!Metro Transit applied for Regional Solicitation federal funding to reconfigure 38th St Station and add some transit oriented development.

There was some discussion about this a few pages back in this thread. Not a lot of details and I haven't heard anything since.Interestingly, that document mentions a large apartment building to be constructed where the ADM mill is across 38th.

Re: East 38th Street & 38th St Station Development
This is fantastic! The 38th St. Station area, aside from the LRT platform, is pretty bleak. There's something about the circular design to accommodate bus turn arounds that doesn't leave enough space for 3 bus shelters despite the fact that Metro Transit considers there to be 3 gates. Of course, my #23 bus heading westbound doesn't get a shelter at the station. Maybe it doesn't matter any more because the #23 only runs once an hour .
The presence of TOD should help make the bus waiting area feel less isolated and open to the wind.
Finally, I hope the pedestrian improvements include removing the wooden electric poles that sit in the middle of the sidewalk near the station entrance. It's so strange the lines did not get buried when the station was built 20 years ago.
