Planning for the future <br />Arterial Bus Rapid Transit <br />Where will <br />arterial BRT be <br />built first? <br /> <br />A system of lines is <br />anticipated for rapid <br />implementation. If <br />selected, the A Line <br />extension will be <br />incorporated into <br />ongoing system <br />construction <br />Opening <br />Late 2015 on <br />Snelling Avenue & <br />Ford Parkway <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />PLANNING <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />PLANNING & DESIGN <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />DESIGN <br />C Line (Penn Avenue) <br />CONSTRUCTION & OPEN <br />D Line (TBD) <br />PLANNING <br />D Line (TBD) <br />DESIGN <br />D Line (TBD) <br />DESIGN <br />E Line (TBD) <br />PLANNING <br />E Line (TBD) <br />DESIGN <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />DESIGN <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />DESIGN <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />CONSTRUCTION & OPEN <br />B Line (West 7th Street) <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />DESIGN <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />CONSTRUCTION & OPEN <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />A Line (Snelling/ Ford) <br />OPEN FOR SERVICE <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION <br />Charles Carlson, Senior Manager <br />Metro Transit <br />BRT/Small Starts Project Office <br />BRTProjects@metrotransit.org <br />A LINE <br />EXTENSION <br />DRAFT <br />STATION LOCATIONS <br />AND ALIGNMENT <br />OPTIONS UNDER <br />REFINEMENT <br />MN-36 <br />ARDEN HILLS <br />ROSEVILLE <br />SHOREVIEW <br />Rosedale Center MnDOT's Waters Edge <br />Boston Scientific <br />Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) <br />Land O'Lakes <br />Smiths Medical <br />Amble <br />Lydia <br />Cub Foods <br />Pi <br />n <br />e <br /> <br />T <br />r <br />e <br />e <br /> <br />TCAAP North <br />County Road F <br />County Road C <br />Cummings Park Drive <br />Target <br />Bethel <br />Floral <br />University of Northwestern <br />Bethel University <br />IMPROVING TRANSIT ON HIGH-TRAFFIC ROUTES <br />In 2012, Metro Transit completed a study of ways to <br />improve speed and customer experience on 12 of its <br />highest-ridership bus routes. Transit speeds on these <br />routes are slowed down by frequent stops and red <br />lights. And customer waiting facilities are limited. <br />Arterial bus rapid transit, or BRT, is a package of <br />transit enhancements that adds up to a faster trip <br />and an improved experience on Metro Transit’s <br />busiest bus routes. <br />UNDER EVALUATION: A LINE EXTENSION TO TCAAP <br />Metro Transit is currently working to implement the <br />A Line on Snelling Avenue & Ford Parkway for a late <br />2015 launch. <br />At the request of Ramsey County and the St. Paul <br />Area Chamber of Commerce, Metro Transit is <br />evaluating a potential extension of the A Line north <br />to the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. This <br />evaluation will include: <br />• Outreach with the public and major stakeholders <br />• Concept service and facilities planning <br />• Evaluation and corridor recommendations <br />The evaluation will be completed in late 2014
