While Robbinsdale, Crystal, Brooklyn Park, and Minneapolis City Councils have voted ‘yes’ to the Blue Line Extension municipal consent, this was one of many hurdles it needs to clear.
We have noted an uptick in those in favor of light rail telling our members that this is a ‘done deal’ and they don’t understand why we are continuing to fight. This is simply not true. The current route design is only 30%. We are ushering in a new state and federal administration and these folks will be getting started with their work shortly. We are hopeful there will be a new lens on transportation projects.
Federal funding has not been secured for the Blue Line Extension. It is expected the project will be evaluated for federal funding sometime in late 2025. This is the time to keep the pressure on and let your voices be heard.
We need your engagement
now more than ever!
