Weigh in with Public Comments on Metro Transit’s H-Line by May 4th


Metro Transit started planning for the H-Line Bus Rapid Transit line in 2025 that starts in Downtown Minneapolis runs along the 3A Bus Route and then instead of turning at Rice Street, it continues down Maryland Avenue, across I-35E, and down to White Bear Avenue where it travels out to the Sun Ray Shopping Center. It might replace the 3A bus route.

The problem with this plan is the BRT on other lines have Stations that are a quarter mile apart. Having only 4 Stations per mile seems like an inconvenience to those that might want to ride on the line. Anyone who has ever ridden on a bus knows that they are slow and stop at multiple stops along their bus route. Eliminating a bus route that does stop often isn’t a good idea.

Other BRTs like the A-Line has many riders who don’t pay to ride on it. The stations are poorly designed with card readers often not on the side of the station that most riders approach it from. The heaters are often broken and they don’t protect waiting riders at the stations from cold winter winds.

If you want to submit your comments you can do so by clicking the link below.  While they are ending the comments by May 4th, 2026.

Perhaps Local Party Units in St Paul & Minneapolis should have townhall meetings to discuss the impact this costly transit line which will inconvenience many riders.

Metro Transit’s Project Schedule for the H-Line:

  • 2025-2026: Planning
  • 2026-2027: Engineering
  • 2028-2029: Construction

HD 66B Republicans is posting this for all residents who regularly ride the 3A & 80 Buses. Metro Transit doesn’t seem to listen to people even when they submit public comments. It’s part of the process they have to go through. They will often remove bus stops without public input. — admin
