Urban Partnership Agreement could bring Lakeville into the Metro transit system
An unexpected benefit of the pending Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) -- which will bring in $133 million in federal money to fund bus rapid transit (BRT) on I-35W -- is that it could bring Lakeville into the Metro Transit Taxing District. The Lakeville City Council just approved a deal with the Met Council as part of extending BRT beyond Burnsville, according to the Star Tribune.
The Legislature has until May 12 to pass the policy language associated with UPA or we will lose the federal funding. Stay tuned for more details.
