Metro Transit E Line Plan: Next Steps

The METRO E Line is an arterial bus rapid transit (BRT) line that will upgrade and substantially replace Route 6, an important route in Linden Hills. The new E Line will have four BRT station platforms in Linden Hills. These platforms are larger (60 feet long) and feature shelters with lights, heaters and benches. The first public comment period on E Line station locations ended in October. Thank you to all who provided feedback.

Metro Transit is now compiling and reviewing that feedback. Next, Metro Transit project staff, along with partners at the city and county, will review options and potential changes to stations based on the input received. Those updates will be compiled into the Recommended Corridor Plan, scheduled to be released for another round of public comment in early 2022.
