Central-South Final Plan

Central - West Area map Note: This section provides background and policy information on "Central-South" Metro Transit Restructuring Plans implemented in 2004.

Metro Transit restructured bus service in south Minneapolis, Bloomington, Richfield, Edina and St. Paul south of I-94 and west of downtown. Phase I in south Minneapolis was launched in June 2004; Phase II changes were made in December 2004.

Changes were made to improve the reliability, speed and convenience of transit service. The plan also integrated buses with Hiawatha light-rail.

An original plan was revised as a result of customer comments at public meetings. The Metropolitan Council approved the final plan in June 2003.
