Details
The City of Rochester and Destination Medical Center (DMC) are completing a comprehensive assessment and analysis of economic development opportunity, transit-supportive land use possibilities, public realm improvement options and infrastructure that will enhance access and ridership on a planned Rochester Rapid Transit system. The work being performed will complement and be used in the City and DMC’s collaborative planning with Olmsted County and Mayo Clinic as it relates to the development of the east and west transit villages that serve as the foundation for the system.
The proposed Rochester Rapid Transit corridor runs along 2nd Street SW and South Broadway Avenue. This new investment has the potential to add mobility options for residents, employees and businesses, guide future growth and development in a smart way, and enhance well-being.
This planning process will include substantial community engagement on visioning for the rapid transit station areas and the whole corridor. This is an opportunity to make decisions about the corridor while anticipating future rapid transit.
To kick off this effort, two initial open houses will be held on Tuesday, February 4, 2020. Community members can stop by over lunchtime between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Rochester inside the Shops at University Square at 111 S Broadway, Room 419.
