Metro Transit is restructuring service in south Minneapolis, Bloomington, Richfield and Edina. The service plan proposes changes to provide faster access to suburban employers and schools, add more frequent rush-hour service on four routes and modify service to downtown and the U of M. A key element of the plan is the new I-35W & 46th Street Station. This two-level station allows easy connections between local routes traveling on 46th Street and express buses on I-35W that can pick up or drop off customers without having to leave the freeway.
These routes will be affected by the plan:
11, 18, 46, 113, 135, 146, 152, 156, 535, 558, 576, 578, 579, 597 and 684
