Join MnDOT for a public meeting in February about Central Avenue

MnDOT invites you to an in-person public meeting to discuss possible improvements and design options for Central Ave. Northeast. As a part of this project, MnDOT is working closely with Metro Transit on the integration of the METRO F Line, a planned bus rapid transit line that will provide improved transit service on Central Ave. Metro Transit staff will be present at the meeting to answer your questions about the F Line.  

The goal of these changes is to enhance the safety and functionality of Central Ave. Northeast and may affect how you travel through the area and get home. If you’re unable to attend in person, the presentation and an opportunity to provide feedback will be available on MnDOT’s project website after the public meeting. Additionally, MnDOT will host two virtual meetings to ensure everyone has a chance to stay informed and share their input. Metro Transit staff will also be present at the virtual meetings to answer questions about the F Line.
