2. Metro Transit Proposed Bus Route Changes
Prepared By
Jason Zimmerman, Planning Manager
Summary
Staff from Metro Transit will present proposed changes to Routes 9, 604, 649, and 675. The
greatest impact to Golden Valley would be the elimination of Route 96 service on Glenwood
Avenue between Minneapolis and Xenia Avenue. This would allow for improved service between
the West End and downtown Minneapolis. Open houses to solicit public comment on these
changes will be held on September 8 at the Harrison Education Center and September 10 at the
Showplace ICON Theatre Community Room.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: WEST END AND ROUTE 9 TRANSIT STUDY
The West End and Route 9 Transit Study focuses on the changing trave) patterns in parts of north Minneapolis,
Golden Valley,St. Louis Park and Minnetonka and proposes modifications to the transit network to address this
new demand.While downtown Minneapolis is still a major regional employment area,most ofthe region's jobs
are located in dispersed car-oriented suburban employment zones. However, recently more emphasis has been
placed on creating suburban areas that integrate residential and employment development�together in a
pedestrian and transit friendly environment.The West End development near I-394 and Highway 100 in St. Louis
Park and Golden Valley is a good example of this type of transit-oriented development.
Study Area
The project examines existing transit service and opportunities for improvements along Route 9(west of
downtown Minneapolis)and nearthe growing high-densityjob and residential opportunities in the West End
development. Specifically,the study area is bordered by I-94 to the east, Glenwood Avenue on the north,
County Road 73 (Hopkins Crossroad)to the west and Cedar Lake Road/26th Street to the south. Routes under
review for this project include Route 9 west of downtown, Route 604 east of Louisiana Avenue Transit Center,
Route 649 and Route 675 east of the Louisiana Avenue Transit Center.
Project Goals
Goals of the study include simplifying the route structure, providing better connectivity between the West End
and downtown Minneapolis, improving the performance and productivity of service in the study area,and
ensuring that under-represented communities that rely on transit share in the benefits of service improvements:
• Route 9 currently has six branches. Simplifying the route structure to eliminate some of these variations
will make the route easier for customers to understand.
• Create efficient schedules that provide more reliable and cost-effective service
• Improve the performance of these routes by reducing or eliminating service on under-utilized or
duplicative route segments
• Focus on opportunities to grow ridership and increase transit market share by recognizing the
demographic and development changes that are taking place.This includes providing a faster
connection between downtown and the significant mixed use development at the West End as well as
ensuring that under-represented communities that rely on transit share in benefits of proposed
improvements.
Recommended Concept Plan
The concept plan proposes routing and frequency changes on Routes 9,604, 649 and 675. Route 9 will be
simplified,with fewer route variations and elimination of service on some route segments. Route 604 will no
longer operate between Louisiana Avenue Transit Center and Park Place Park& Ride. Route 649 is proposed for
elimination and will instead be served by Routes 9 and new route 645. Route 675 will become a new limited-
stop route(Route 645)serving the West End and providing a fast connection to downtown Minneapolis.
Route 9
Route 9 will be simplified from six variations to two branches.Service is proposed to be eliminated on Cedar
Lake Road between Penn and Glenwood,on the 96 branch along Xenia and Glenwood Avenue west of Penn, on
the 9H branch along Ewing/France, 26th Street, Barry Street and the Highway 100 east frontage road. One
hundred twenty-eight one-way trips by 64 riders are affected by these changes;43 of these riders are more than
a quarter-mile from other service. The 9D branch along Wayzata Boulevard,Zarthan and 16th Street will be
replaced by the new Route 645 service with a thirty-three percent increase of bus trips.
1
All trips will serve the intersection of Glenwood and Penn avenues in the Bryn Mawr neighborhood, providing a
more consistent routing and improving the frequency of service to the area of highest ridership.All trips will also
serve Laurel and Upton avenues and the West End via Wayzata Boulevard, Utica, l6th Street and Park Place.
During peak periods,some trips will be rerouted to serve Cedar Lake Road east of Park Place(Cedar Trails
Condominiums).Also, eastbound in the morning peak hour and westbound in the afternoon peak hour,service
on the entire route east of Glenwood Avenue and Cedar Lake Road will operate every 20 minutes instead of
every 15 minutes.
Service on Route 9N on Cedar Lake Road west of Louisiana Avenue to the Greenbrier area in Minnetonka will be
improved in the off-peak and will be available hourly on weekdays to match the weekend schedule. During peak
periods this area will continue to be served by express routes 643 and 663.
Route 604
The portion of the route between Louisiana Avenue Transit Center and Park Place Boulevard and Wayzata
Boulevard is proposed for elimination and will be replaced by new Route 645.Twenty-four one-way trips by 12
riders who currently ride east of Louisiana Avenue Transit Center will instead have to transfer between Route
604 and new Route 645.This route change will eliminate route duplication and allow for better timed
connections.
Route 649
Route 649 is proposed for elimination and will be replaced by Route 9 and new Route 645 to avoid route
duplication. Customers currently boarding on Louisiana Avenue and Cedar Lake Road will instead be served by
Route 9. Service on Cedar Lake Road east of Park Place would be reduced from five to three trips on Route 9.
Travel time for existing Route 649 riders using Route 9 between the West End and downtown Minneapolis will
increase by 16 minutes.Seventy one-way trips by 35 riders are affected by this change;all 35 are more than a
quarter-mile from express service.
Riders using the Park Place Park& Ride and those using Route 649 to commute to jobs in the West End will be
served by new Route 645 and have no increase in travel time.All Route 649 customers will continue to have a
one-seat ride to downtown Minneapolis.
Route 675/new route 645
A significant improvement proposed in this concept plan is all day limited-stop service between downtown
Minneapolis and the West End via l-394 all days of the week, providing a 40 percent increase in service to the
West End and a trip that is 16 minutes faster than currently provided on Route 9. Existing Route 675 would be
modified to create this connection east of the Louisiana Avenue Transit Center by traveling on Wayzata
Boulevard,Zarthan Avenue, 16th Street, Park Place and I-394. The route is no longer an express route,so it will
be renumbered to Route 645 and a less-expensive local fare will be charged.
This reroute adds two-four minutes travel time for existing riders. Most customers board at park and rides with
alternate express service, but there are 72 riders boarding east of Ridgedale Shopping Center during the
morning rush hour that do not have an alternative and will be impacted by the longer travel time.
Public Outreach and Next Steps
There will be an official public comment period in September 2016 to allow riders and other stakeholders the
opportunity to provide feedback. Community meetings will be held on Sept.8 and Sept. 10. In addition,
information about the proposed service changes will be available online and staff will board buses to notify
2
customers and reach out to other community-based organizations to help spread the word about the proposed
service changes. In addition to commenting in person,the public will be invited to submit comments via
telephone,fax,email and the Metropolitan Council website.
Please visit metrotransit.org/west-end for project updates.These service changes are planned for
implementation in March 2017.
