Description
Title: Transmitting the City's support for the Bronze Line Locally Preferred Alternative to the Metropolitan Council and Ramsey County.
Summary
The proposed Bronze Line Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) in St. Paul aims to establish a 10-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route connecting Union Depot to Maplewood Mall. The project will feature dedicated bus lanes, off-board payment systems, and improved transit access to key job centers, enhancing mobility for cost-burdened households and those without vehicles. The City of St. Paul and local jurisdictions are expected to provide resolutions supporting the LPA, which aligns with the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan prioritizing safety, equity, and transit access. The project, funded primarily by Ramsey County and the Metropolitan Council, is crucial for reducing reliance on single-occupant vehicles and promoting sustainable transportation options.
