Design & Engineering
The METRO Purple Line completed 30% Roll Plots – an updated, more refined design plan of the Purple Line route. These plans are of the route South of Beam Avenue, along the Bruce Vento Trail alignment.
The METRO Purple Line completed 15% Concept Plans in support of the preparation of the Environmental Assessment. Each of the cities along the METRO Purple Line passed Resolutions of Support of the 15% Concept Plans in early 2020. The design was further refined to continue analysis for the Environmental Assessment.
A Ramsey County Rail Right-of-way Design Guide and a Visual Quality Manual have been prepared to guide the design and engineering in future phases of the project.
