MSP Airport employees are encouraged to attend a virtual open house on Wednesday, June 23, at 6 p.m. to learn more about Ramsey County's Riverview Corridor modern streetcar project that is planned to run generally along Hwy. 5 (West 7th Street).
The modern streetcar project is a 12-mile planned transportation connection between neighborhoods and anchor destinations and employers in downtown Saint Paul, MSP Airport and the Mall of America.
Attendees can register in advance at www.riverviewcorridor.com. This will be an opportunity for the public to learn about the project and provide input.
Modern streetcar vehicles can operate on the same track as light rail vehicles but are generally smaller. Ten new stations are planned in Saint Paul and one in the historic Fort Snelling at Bdote area.
Modern streetcar stations are also generally smaller than light rail stations but have the same amenities such as heated shelters, ample lighting, off-board fare collection and signs showing real-time departure times.
