Legislative Update - November 30, 2018

Friday, November 30, 2018

Dear Neighbors,

I have great news! The Orange Line Bus Rapid Transit that goes from Minneapolis through Bloomington to Burnsville received full funding. The Orange Line will connect Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, and Burnsville along I-35W, providing frequent, all-day service in both directions, seven days a week. The route is an upgrade and will replace the existing local Route 535 with enhanced service and amenities, and new station features will benefit other transit riders along the I-35W corridor. If you would like more information check out the METRO Orange Line web page by clicking here

Sincerely, 

Andrew Carlson
State Representative
