LOCALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE Modern StreetcarW. 7th - Hwy
5/Fort SnellingSaint Paul – Bloomington, Minnesota
The Riverview Corridor connects neighborhoods, historic
districts, businesses, thriving commercial districts and downtown
Saint Paul to the regional transportation network. It includes
Union Depot and Lowertown, downtown Saint Paul, Seven Corners, West
7th and Highland Park neighborhoods, Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport, Bloomington’s South Loop and the Mall of
America.
The Riverview Corridor Policy Advisory Committee approved a
modern streetcar route along West 7th Street as the locally
preferred alternative for creating a new transit connection between
downtown Saint Paul, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and
the Mall of America in December 2017.
The new modern streetcar line will share segments of track,
stations and other infrastructure with existing METRO Blue and
Green light rail lines and also connect to planned Bus Rapid
Transit corridors serving the Twin Cities East Metro area.

Community EngagementMeaningful community engagement is critical
to informed decision making and building trust among residents and
business owners. Public input from over 85 events shaped the
selection of modern streetcar as the Riverview Corridor locally
preferred alternative in 2018. Ramsey County is committed to
continue public engagement through the environmental analysis and
design process.
Next stepsThe locally preferred alternative has been submitted
to the Twin Cities’ regional planning body, the Metropolitan
Council, for addition to the region’s 2040 Transportation Policy
Plan.
The Environmental Analysis phase of the project is anticipated
to continue through 2022.
