The Gold Line, a proposed bus rapid transit service between Union Depot in Saint Paul and Woodbury along Interstate 94 and Hudson Road, continues to gain momentum toward a 2022 opening. Now is the time to engage in conversations about:

·         The role the business community plays in transit-oriented development.

·         What do policy makers and community leaders need to do now to get ready for new development and transit service?

·         What can peer cities with successful transit programs teach us that will help maximize our corridor’s potential?

Speakers:

·         Dena Belzer: What we know about development and BRT.

·         Roger Millar: What actions would help the Gold Line advance our community goals?

·         Ms. Belzer: National leader in urban economics techniques that usefully guide local public policy decisions, based on sound market principles, foster sustainable communities, and create places with lasting value.

·         Mr. Millar: Vice president and director of Smart Growth America’s Leadership Institute. He has played a leadership role in several projects, including Portland, Oregon’s Pearl District, the Portland Streetcar, the Roaring Fork Valley “VelociRFTA” BRT system, and the “Envision Missoula” Long Range Transportation Plan.
