Metro Transit Park and Ride in Lino Lakes City Administrator Bryan Bear explained that in December, Metro Transit will open two new 300 space park-and-ride facilities near the interchanges of I -35E and Co Rd 14 in Lino Lakes and I -35E and Co Rd E in Vadnais Heights. Routes 275 and 285 will be combined into a restructured Route 275 to accommodate these two new facilities. Overall, these changes will allow Metro Transit to operate a higher level of service in the corridor to serve the growing demand and commute options.

A Rider Alert has been delivered to customers detailing the changes and info can be found on the Metro Transit website.
