The Gateway Corridor Commission is holding four open houses in March and early April, seeking public input on the eight proposed alternative transit options being considered for the project. The Gateway Corridor is a proposed transitway that would run east from the Twin Cities near Interstate 94 and U.S. Highway 12 to Wisconsin.

Check out this map.

The project is part of the Metropolitan Council's 2030 Transportation Policy Plan. Alternatives under consideration include commuter rail, light rail, bus rapid transit and express bus service. The Gateway Corridor Alternatives Analysis is funded through a combination of federal funds, the Counties Transit Improvement Board, Washington and Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authorities, and the Metropolitan Council.
