City of Minnetonka Transit Study
Metro Transit, in cooperation with the City of Minnetonka, is conducting a study to identify potential bus service changes in the city. This study will build upon the city’s transit vision and goals, which were recently developed in a separate, city-led study. Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates, in association with LSA Design, is assisting in the transit study.
As part of the study, a background review of past projects, existing and future demographics, and productivity of existing service has been completed. This chapter of the final report is now available through the links below.
Open House scheduled for May 23
A concept plan with initial service recommendations will be presented at an open house on Wednesday, May 23, at Ridgedale Library. The open house will be held in the RHR Meeting Room from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., with presentations on the concept plan at 5:00 p.m. and at 6:00 p.m.
Public participation in the study is encouraged. Currently, comments and feedback on the bus system in Minnetonka, including the locations of bus routes and schedule times, are being solicited at minnetonkastudy@metrotransit.org.
