Maplewood 3M Station Report: Gateway Corridor

Abstract

The City of Maplewood has requested that a graduate class at the University of Minnesota Humphrey School evaluate a proposed Gateway Corridor rapid transit station at the 3M Campus in Maplewood (See Exhibit 1). This transitway would operate on a separate right-of-way connecting Union Station in St. Paul with various stops on Hudson Road along the I-94 corridor and would extend to Hudson, Wisconsin and ultimately beyond to Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Stations from Sun Ray Shopping Center in St. Paul and eastward would include park and ride facilities, but the Maplewood 3M station would not include an accommodation for parking.
