Gateway Corridor Open House
The Gateway Corridor Commission is holding open houses to seek public input on the eight proposed alternative transit options being considered as part of the Gateway Corridor Alternatives Analysis (AA) study.
The meetings will use an open house format with a short presentation on the modes and routes of new transit, as well as the proposed station locations. The presentation will also cover ridership projections, as well as the potential economic and community impacts of the transit options. Staff will be available to answer questions, and there will be an opportunity for attendees to provide both written and verbal comments.
For additional information about the public open houses and the AA, contact the Gateway Corridor Project Team at gatewaycorridor@washington.mn.us or 651-430-4300, or visit www.thegatewaycorridor.com. To request an ASL or language interpreter, please contact the project team no later than Friday, March 23. All facilities are accessible to persons with disabilities.

About the Alternatives Analysis
The purpose of the AA is to identify a cost-effective, economically viable transit option for the Gateway Corridor that improves mobility and safety, supports economic development, protects the natural environment in the corridor, and preserves and protects individual community quality of life. Alternatives that are being studied include Commuter Rail, Light Rail Transit, Bus Rapid Transit, and Express Bus. The Gateway Corridor is a corridor, in the general vicinity of I-94, which extends from downtown Minneapolis through Saint Paul and easterly to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The Gateway Corridor Alternatives Analysis is funded through a combination of federal funds, the Counties Transit Improvement Board, Washington and Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authorities, and the Metropolitan Council.
