A Closer Look: Green Line Extension

Join us for this Closer Look program on the history of the Green Line Extension (GLE) and the project at large. This program will kick off with the GLE background, timeline and schedule, highlights on “how we got here,” and a focus on the Shady Oak Station. The presenters will highlight what development has occurred along the GLE, prior to the opening, and provide a clear picture of forecasted developments throughout the City of Hopkins. Attendees will also learn about The Artery and what’s been done to support the GLE opening day. The Artery is a multi-modal path that is pedestrian-friendly connecting the Downtown Hopkins Station to Hopkins Mainstreet.

Please note that this program will take place at the Shady Oak Station and there will be no seating available. This is a standing-only program. Please wear comfortable shoes.
