Limited overnight parking available at Northstar stations

Overnight parking is now permitted in Park & Ride lots at suburban Northstar rail stations. It’s perfect when taking Northstar to the airport for out-of-town trips.

Ten parking spaces at these lots – Big Lake, Elk River, Anoka, Coon Rapids-Riverdale and Fridley – are marked for overnight use, which is limited to a maximum of seven days.

During a six-month pilot program, Metro Transit will assess usage rates, snow removal issues, vandalism, liability, security and enforcement. If these issues are manageable, overnight parking will continue unless spaces are needed by daily commuters.

Please park only in the spaces designated for overnight use. Violators will be ticketed and towed at their own expense.

Thanks for riding Northstar!
