113 diversion in order to more conveniently serve higher-intensity existing and planned land uses east of Stinson Parkway. In addition to the fixed-route transit options, the City is also served by Hennepin County and Anoka County Transit Link, a dial-a-ride service for the general public (the portion of St. Anthony Village within Ramsey County is served by Anoka County Transit Link). Transit Link provides connections to destinations within Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. Transit Link also connects to regular route transit for trips within the metro area, including outside of Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. St. Anthony Village residents also have opportunities to participate in the Metro Vanpool program. This program provides financial assistance for vanpools to serve areas with limited regular-route transit service. The TPP’s transit investment plan does not show any transitway investments planned for St. Anthony Village in the current revenue scenario. Under the increased revenue scenario, the TPP includes the Central Avenue arterial BRT corridor and the I-35W North transitway, both of which are located adjacent to St. Anthony Village. These corridors are not funded within the currently-expected resources for transitways. Nonetheless, residents and employees in St. Anthony Village may benefit from development of an arterial BRT corridor, depending on its final alignment and operational plan. According to the TPP, MnDOT led a feasibility study related to managed lanes and bus rapid transit along the I-35W corridor; however, it is unlikely that St. Anthony Village would be directly affected by any developments along this transitway, because there are no access points to I-35W within the City. There are no formal park-and-ride lots located within St. Anthony Village and it is not anticipated that future demand will require a formal park-and-ride lot within the City.
