MVTA, City of Rosemount Celebrate Station Grand Opening |
The Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) in Burnsville, MN, and the city of Rosemount, MN, recently held formal opening ceremonies for the Rosemount Transit Station.
Service from the new station mirrors the previous schedule at the Rosemount Community Center, with three peak-period morning trips to downtown Minneapolis and four peak-period afternoon trips from downtown Minneapolis. Flex Route 420, which operates between Rosemount and Apple Valley, provides all-day service to the station. MVTA plans to introduce additional express service to Minneapolis in 2013 based on federal grant funding; the the agency also has procured some federal grant funds to expand service to St. Paul. Rosemount will also be considered for this service.
The station site also includes parking for 102 vehicles.
The event included a formal ribbon cutting and remarks highlighting the importance of transit in Rosemount, partnerships and the regional perspective on public transit.
To complete the station project, MVTA partnered with a variety of organizations, including the state of Minnesota/Minnesota DOT, the city of Rosemount, the Dakota County Community Development Agency, and the Metropolitan Council. |
