The METRO D Line Faster transit is coming to the Route 5 corridor. The METRO D Line is a planned bus rapid transit line that Brooklyn Center will provide faster and more reliable transit service in the Transit Center Xerxes & 56th Ave BROOKLYN Route 5 corridor. Bus rapid transit is a package of transit CENTER enhancements that adds up to a faster trip and an improved Brooklyn & 51st Ave experience on Metro Transit’s busiest bus routes. Fremont 44th Ave & Penn 44th Ave & Girard Route 5 is the Twin Cities’ busiest bus route, carrying about Fremont & 42nd Ave 16,000 customers each weekday. During rush hours, Route Fremont & Dowling Fremont & 35th Ave 5 buses make up less than 2 percent of vehicle traffic but Emerson carry more than 20 percent of people traveling through Fremont/Emerson & Lowry the corridor. Fremont/Emerson & 26th Ave Fremont/Emerson & Broadway Fremont/Emerson & Plymouth How will the D Line be faster? 7th St & Bryant C Line 7th St & Olson-5th Ave Olson Memorial Highway The D Line will substantially replace Route 5 service between Brooklyn Center, Minneapolis, Richfield, and MINNEAPOLIS Bloomington. The goal of the D Line is to make service Ramp A/7th St Transit Center 8th/7th St & Hennepin approximately 20 percent faster by stopping less often, 8th/7th St & Nicollet 8th/7th St & 3rd Ave allowing customers to board faster, and stopping at fewer 8th/7th St & Park 7th St 8th St red lights. Chicago & 14th St Chicago & Franklin Chicago & 24th St Instead of stopping every block, buses will make limited Chicago & 26th St stops at stations spaced farther apart. Fares will be collected Chicago-Lake Transit Center B Line at stations — just like light rail — and not on the bus. Raised Chicago & 34th St METRO D Line MINNEAPOLIS curbs at platforms will make it easier to step onto the bus.

Local bus Route 5 would continue to run at a reduced frequency to serve local trips at existing bus stops along most of the corridor.

    City Council Work Session Agenda Section Work Session Meeting Date April 5, 2021

    CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION AGENDA SECTION WORK SESSION MEETING DATE APRIL 5, 2021 ITEM: BUS RAPID TRANSIT (BRT) LINES DEPARTMENT: Public Works BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen/April 1, 2021 CITY STRATEGY: (please indicate areas that apply by adding a bold “X” in front of the selected text below) X_Safe Community _Diverse, Welcoming “Small-Town” Feel _Economic Strength _Excellent Housing/Neighborhoods _Equity and Affordability X_Strong Infrastructure/Public Services _Opportunities for Play and Learning _Engaged, Multi-Generational, Multi-Cultural Population BACKGROUND: ‘NetworkNext’ is a 20-year plan initiated by Metro Transit for expanding and improving the bus network serving the metro area. Transit improvements under consideration include improved local and express routes, integrated shared mobility options, and new arterial bus rapid transit (BRT) lines. Bus rapid transit (BRT) provides an improved customer experience with frequent service and faster trips in our the Metro’s busiest bus corridors. Metro Transit first studied a dozen potential BRT lines in 2011-2012. This study led to the implementation of the METRO A Line in 2016 and the METRO C Line in 2019. Metro Transit has reported both lines have been very successful in increasing ridership and customers satisfaction. In 2020 and 2021, Metro Transit engaged the public to help identify the Metro’s next BRT priorities. Each step was based on four principles that guided the planning process for BRT, rooted in public engagement, Metropolitan Council transit policy, and the performance of the bus network: Advance equity and reduce regional racial disparities Build on success to grow ridership Design a network that supports a transit-oriented lifestyle Ensure the long-term sustainable growth of the bus network In February 2021, following months of analysis and community engagement, Metro Transit finalized recommendations for the next expansions in the BRT network: The METRO F Line will serve the Central Avenue corridor, modifying Route 10 from downtown Minneapolis to Northtown Mall via Central and University avenues.

    Rice-Robert Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Little Canada – Roseville – Maplewood – Saint Paul – West Saint Paul

    Rice-Robert Arterial Bus Rapid Transit Little Canada – Roseville – Maplewood – Saint Paul – West Saint Paul The Rice-Robert Project is a proposed 11-mile Arterial Bus Rapid Transit (ABRT) line roughly along Rice St and Robert St, serving the communities of Little Canada, Roseville, Maplewood, Saint Paul, and West Saint Paul. Rice-Robert ABRT would serve a wide variety of communities, from the jobs and destinations of downtown Saint Paul to many of the poorest and most transit- dependent neighborhoods in the East Metro. Both Rice St and Robert St are home to a wide variety of destinations ranging from a dozen schools and numerous parks to the State Capitol and the main service centers of Ramsey and Dakota Counties. It would also connect to numerous existing or planned transit improvements, including METRO Green Line, METRO Gold Line, Rush Line, Riverview, and METRO B Line on Selby. Rice-Robert ABRT is being considered for study and implementation as the METRO F Line in 2025. This timeline coincides with three major investments by state and local partners along the Rice-Robert corridor: Rice St Visioning Project (2022-24): Rice St from Pennsylvania Ave to Wheelock Pkwy is the subject of the ongoing Rice St Visioning Study, which will reimagine and redesign the corridor. Construction on the corridor between Pennsylvania and County Road B is scheduled to begin in phases in 2022. Rush Line Project (2024-26): Rush Line is a proposed BRT project from downtown Saint Paul to White Bear Lake. Rush Line would co-locate with Rice-Robert BRT from 12th St to 5th St in downtown Saint Paul.

    East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results

    East-West Corridor High Capacity Transit Plan Rapid Transit Evaluation Results About the Corridor The AECOM consultant team conducted a high-level analysis of commuter rail, light rail transit (LRT), streetcar and bus rapid transit (BRT) to determine the most appropriate mode for the East- West Corridor. Based on the corridor fit, ridership capacity, cost per mile to build/operate and available right-of-way, BRT will move forward for more detailed analysis. This fact sheet provides, in more detail, how BRT and LRT compared and why BRT was determined to be the best fit.
