Marshall Avenue Bus Lane Information
Marshall Avenue Bus Lane (Wilder to Cretin avenues) will stay in place through at least Spring 2026.
Metro Transit, the City of Saint Paul, and Ramsey County, will extend the duration of the Marshall Avenue bus lane between Wilder and Cretin avenues until at least Spring 2026. The bus lane was implemented in June and initially planned for removal in late 2025. Metro Transit, the City of Saint Paul, and Ramsey County are considering making the bus lane permanent and are seeking public feedback on the benefits and trade-offs of the bus lane.
Parking will remain restricted on weekdays from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During these hours, there is no parking on the north side of Marshall Avenue between Cleveland and Cretin avenues. Bikes and right turns are allowed.
The current bus lane has improved bus speeds and travel time consistency, allowing riders to reach their destinations faster and on time.
Please visit Survey (English) or Survey (Spanish) to provide feedback.

Final Corridor Plan approved in October 2021
In 2020-2021, Metro Transit completed a Final B Line Corridor Plan to identify locations for B Line stations. The Metropolitan Council approved this plan on Oct. 13, 2021. This plan establishes two core components: the station intersection and the location of platforms within that intersection.
Corridor Plan Amendment #1
The approved Final B Line Corridor Plan noted the potential for platform locations at three stations (Lake & Lyndale, Lake & Bloomington, and Lake & Cedar) to change in the future as Metro Transit, Hennepin County, and the City of Minneapolis continued to work together to study broader changes to Lake Street.
To best accommodate the recommended improvements for Lake Street, platform locations at three locations will shift from what was included in the approved Corridor Plan, placing B Line platforms in the northwest and southeast corners of these three intersections.
The Metropolitan Council approved these changes in a Corridor Plan amendment in April 2022.
