Metro Transit named APTA 2016 System of the Year

They are putting fences back up near 4th and Chicago.

Found this article. I am confused, I thought that in order to gain the final go-ahead from the Feds we needed to secure the 150 million from the state. http://finance-commerce.com/2016/07/southwest-lrt-wins-green-light-from-feds/ I'm fortunately the article was locked. Maybe one of you has more inf...

Metro Transit is adding wig wag to the trains.

Well it's official, the train just announced it to me, US Bank Stadium Station. A few signs have been replaced but most still say Downtown East.

Signs was being replaced today.

Come on state republicans... get greedy, use that surplus... build us a train! It's not that spendy, you can justify it!

They have to fund Green Line extension first.

No surprise, Downtown East Station will be renamed to U.S. Bank Stadium Station by March 1st 2016.

Wow.

Ex Metro Transit driver.

The track number is indicated on the reader boards.

Just heard an announcement at Govt Plaza Station that there was another accident at 46th Street Station. Can anyone confirm?

Train hit a pedestrian at 46th street. Train are now running but might experience delays.

I noticed that the fence for the daycare playground has been removed. Demolition starting soon?

We've discussed this a little (maybe here, maybe in the MOA thread), but from an operational standpoint, wouldn't Riverview wreak havoc on the current (and planned) setup for train layovers at MOA Station? It seems they are not considering any additional trains in the MOA station renovation. Having...

Maple Grove Transit extends cotract with Metro Transit until 2018.

Another thought: anyone figure out why is there a stop light at Carleton Ave just west of Raymond?

Pedestrian crossing. I bet the residents wanted it.

I'm referring to the Green Line stopping short of Union Depot as much as proposals for the Riverview and Rush Lines to extend into it. Isn't the best possible outcome all of them go to the Depot or none of them so you don't have to walk the steps and out front to transfer? Thats why the Green Line ...

Though that raises the question: Why can't we just have overnight shutdowns as needed? Why do they need to shutdown daytime service? Speculating out loud: Overnight workers tend to be paid a slight premium, and while that premium might amount to less than a weekend of lost revenues, perhaps Metro T...

I'm trying to learn how the system works. At any given time, like let's say at 10am today, how many trains are actually moving on the green line? One train in each direction, or are there 4 trains spaced apart? Is there a chart or graphic that shows it, or an explanation for a novice like me? The h...

It's a lot easier to detour a bus than a train! I assume this work was planned at the same time, otherwise why would the Green Line close all the way to Stadium Village, if the work they are doing is only downtown?

They are also doing cement work at West Bank
