St. Anthony 2040 Comprehensive Plan Chapter 6: Transportation <br /> <br />104 <br /> <br />In addition to the fixed-route transit options, the City is also served by Hennepin <br />County and Anoka County Transit Link, a dial-a-ride service for the general public <br />(the portion of St. Anthony Village within Ramsey County is served by Anoka <br />County Transit Link). Transit Link provides connections to destinations within <br />Hennepin and Ramsey Counties. Transit Link also connects to regular route transit <br />for trips within the metro area, including outside of Hennepin and Ramsey <br />Counties. St. Anthony Village residents also have opportunities to participate in the <br />Metro Vanpool program. This program provides financial assistance for vanpools <br />to serve areas with limited regular-route transit service. <br />The TPP’s transit investment plan does not show any transitway investments <br />planned for St. Anthony Village in the current revenue scenario. Under the <br />increased revenue scenario, the TPP includes the Central Avenue arterial BRT <br />corridor and the I-35W North transitway, both of which are located adjacent to St. <br />Anthony Village. These corridors are not funded within the currently-expected <br />resources for transitways. Nonetheless, residents and employees in St. Anthony <br />Village may benefit from development of an arterial BRT corridor, depending on its <br />final alignment and operational plan. According to the TPP, MnDOT led a feasibility <br />study related to managed lanes and bus rapid transit along the I-35W corridor; <br />however, it is unlikely that St. Anthony Village would be directly affected by any <br />developments along this transitway, because there are no access points to I-35W <br />within the City. <br />There are no formal park-and-ride lots located within St. Anthony Village and it is <br />not anticipated that future demand will require a formal park-and-ride lot within the <br />City. <br />
