Metro Transit Lake Street/Midtown Station Renovation
Located at East Lake Street and Hiawatha Avenue, the METRO Blue Line's Lake Street/Midtown Station is one of the region's busiest boarding locations, with around 1,800 light rail boardings each weekday. Bus stops served by the METRO B Line, are located immediately adjacent to the station.
After 20 years of use, a full renovation of the station is being pursued to ensure it remains in a state of good repair and continues to be a space that invites people to use transit.
Station renovations will complement improvements to the Hiawatha-Lake intersection that are being led by Hennepin County. Construction is expected to take place 2026 - 2027.
