County staff: Bronze Line will run ~10 miles, include 22 stations and a high share of non-auto trips
Summary
Presenters said the Bronze Line will be about 10 miles long with 22 stations (17 new), about half the alignment on dedicated guideway, and that models expect most trips to involve walking, biking or transfers rather than park-and-ride trips.
County planners described the Bronze Line alignment and station concepts, saying the route will run about 10 miles from the Fairview Depot to Maplewood Mall and include roughly 22 stations, 17 of them new. "It's about 10 miles long," a presenter said as staff reviewed the route map. (Sina Smith)
Staff said about 50% of the alignment would be on a dedicated guideway and that stations are designed for all-day reliable service and connections to local bus and active-transportation networks. The presentation cited ridership-model expectations: about 64% of trips are expected to be from households without an automobile and 97% of trips will be walking, biking or transfers between transit lines, underscoring the project's focus on transit access over park-and-ride service.
