Metropolitan Council Highway 55 BRT Study
Staff from the Metropolitan Council along with District 1 Commissioner Katy Rodriguez,
provided an update on the Metropolitan Council's Highway Transition Corridor Study. The
update focused on the potential development of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor on Highway
55. Highway 55 was one of the eight corridors that were part of the study. Currently the scope
of the study is high-level, and it's intended to provide basic context and comparative scoping
between a number of potential BRT corridors within the metro area for use in advocacy efforts
with the Minnesota Legislature. Neither the Metropolitan Council nor MN/DOT has identified
funding to complete any BRT project. The next step is to build political support for funding.
