Riverview Corridor Update

Next Tuesday, July 16 from 3 to 5pm, the Chamber is hosting an open house for the Riverview Corridor project. This is a free, pop-in event focused on getting feedback from the business community on the transit alternatives being considered. As a reminder, the Riverview Corridor is a planned 12-mile transportation connection along West Seventh Street in St. Paul, serving neighborhoods and providing connections to MSP Airport and the Mall of America. 

Three alternatives currently are being analyzed: two featuring "modern streetcars" and one with bus rapid transit (BRT). Between the alternatives, there are significant differences in project cost, traffic and parking impacts, economic development opportunities, and projected ridership. Ramsey County Commissioner Rafael Ortega and project staff will provide an overview at 3:30, and the rest of the open house will allow attendees to view displays and information and ask questions of the project team.

It's really important that employers and employees share their feedback on what alternative they feel works best for our community. Ramsey County is actively engaging the public over the summer to help inform which alternative moves forward, so this is a great opportunity to provide your thoughts. We hope you'll join us: register here!

See you in the trenches,
