Promoting transportation options and strategic redevelopment in the Bottineau Boulevard Corridor

Local public officials and business leaders formed the Bottineau Boulevard Partnership in 2000 to mobilize resources and offer civic leadership to guide the redevelopment of the Bottineau Corridor (County Road 81). A new, high quality transit investment has been a consistent priority for the Partnership. Hennepin County is currently leading an Alternatives Analysis to study Light Rail Transit and other options for this Corridor, which will identify a Preferred Alternative by Summer 2009.

The Bottineau Boulevard Partnership is also studying lessons learned and best practices in Transit Oriented Development from around the United States. The Partnership recently took a trip to Portland to learn from their experience developing around transit.
