This is happening because in 2023 we finally got @MetroTransitMN its own new funding from the state legislature. Before that, projects like this were dependent on counties. This is how you take #ClimateAction and build #TransitEquity. 🚍🌎
I am beside myself at this news. That literally overnight, one of the region's largest transit projects just doubled in length in a move no one saw coming. No years of studies and engagement and agitating for funding. Metro Transit just did it. THIS IS HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK!

100,000 riders in five months blows past expectations and proves (once again) that investing in passenger rail pays off. If you build it, they will come.

NEW: “Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says. Studies from around the world show bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions & are a boon to businesses.” And removing them would cost a lot & make traffic worse. cbc.ca/news/science/bike-lan…
