DREAM Blue Line Extension Survey
Cultural Placekeeping Design Group
Cultural placekeeping for the Blue Line Extension means working with the community to ensure the project reflects and celebrates the diverse cultures of the communities it will serve.
The project is looking for people with a connection to one or more cultures and communities along the Blue Line Extension to co-design visual elements of the project such as architectural styling, streetscapes, lighting, decorative infrastructure, landscaping, and other design elements near future stations.
These cultural placekeeping design groups will be organized by city. Participants should expect to attend monthly meetings over six months starting in early spring 2025.
Advisory Committees
The METRO Blue Line Extension has two advisory committees with membership from Brooklyn Park. One committee is for business members, and one is for community members. The purpose of these committees is to serve as a voice for the community and to provide guidance to the BLRT Corridor Management Committee (CMC) on community issues during the engineering and environmental phases of Blue Line project development.

The METRO Blue Line Extension (BLRT) Business Advisory Committee (BAC) is established to provide guidance to the BLRT Corridor Management Committee (CMC) on community issues during the project development phases of BLRT.

Bottineau Community Works
The Bottineau Community Works program, a partnership between Hennepin County and cities in the Bottineau corridor (Brooklyn Park, Crystal, Golden Valley, Minneapolis, and Robbinsdale) was formed to identify and pursue community and economic development opportunities while making policy and infrastructure improvements that benefit our communities today, in preparation of the light rail, and our community’s future.
