Recap: Actualizing Equity in Transit Planning
For many neighborhoods, light rail lines have played a concerning role in pushing out low-wealth residents, immigrants and communities of color from their homes and businesses. For nearly a decade, the Blue Line Coalition has been working to integrate community voice into the planning process and create a different outcome for the Bottineau Corridor light rail extension project from Minneapolis to Brooklyn Park.
As the project moved into critical decision-making stages, members of the BLC shared insights from their work and uplifted their new Community Report at our January 2022 Actualizing Equity event.
