At the January 2026 NCITE meeting, we heard about the winner of the 2025 NCITE Transportation Achievement Award, the Metro B Line Arterial BRT and Lake Street Improvements project. The METRO B Line arterial bus rapid transit (BRT) project connects neighborhoods from Uptown Minneapolis to downtown St. Paul and spans 13 miles on Lake Street, Marshall Avenue, and Selby Avenue. Metro Transit, Hennepin County, and the City of Minneapolis all identified significant safety and mobility needs on Lake Street: transit riders represented 21 percent of Lake Street users, Lake Street was one of the slowest transit corridors in the region with buses averaging 8 miles per hour in peak periods, three Lake Street intersections had the highest concentrations of pedestrian crashes in Hennepin County, and the entirety of Lake Street was identified as a High Injury Street in the Minneapolis Vision Zero Action Plan. With the tremendous needs on Lake Street and an arterial BRT project in development, Hennepin County recognized the opportunity to create a new vision for Lake Street that would achieve the County’s transportation and equity goals.
