There is a more recent (2021) study that was completed by Washington County too.

Final recommendation in this report is BRT between Maplewood Mall and Minneapolis, via 280/U of M.

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)

Yes, I meant it as both, not either or. This might need to be split off to the fantasy or general thread. I’m not sure we’d call a line along 36 aBRT… but I’d also hope for a lower cost approach. Fill in the gaps on the map. Connect many lines with stops at Maplewood Mall (Purple Line end) to Rice (...

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)

I live near this line. I would rather see it reduced to aBRT project and priced at 25%. If it’s Purple or aBRT, it will be slow, which will hurt ridership. A reduction would open funds for additional projects, and my vote would be a more useful Hwy 36 project.

Re: Purple Line BRT (Rush Line Corridor)

I agree that a downgrade to aBRT makes sense (even if it was extended north if the future moods change in Vadnais Heights or White Bear). The speed will not attract ridership over driving, so it should be an enhanced bus service for those in the corridor that rely on transit. BRT is 5x+ the cost of ...

Re: Honolulu

I visited Hawaii over spring break and it looks to ready to open by the airport. To hear it’s another few years is crazy.

Anecdotally the traffic wasn’t bad. We were on the freeway at midday so maybe only rush hour is gridlock.
