Site work and paving for a road / highway in Hastings, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway.

The Robert Street Transitway is identified in the Metropolitan Council's 2040 Transportation Policy Plan, and as a transitway corridor to provide all-day frequency transit service. Dakota County Regional Railroad Authority and Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority have lead evaluation of a potenial transitway project in an area between downtown St. Paul and Rosemount. The Robert Street Transitway Alternatives Analysis identified multiple trends and conditions justifying service improvements in the study area, including population and employment growth, substantial demand from transit dependent populations and opportunities for coordinated land use and economic development efforts. The Alternatives Analysis identified a preferred alignment on Robert Street between downtown St. Paul and Mendota Road. Additional planning and evaluation is expected to define a preferred mode.
