Bill > HF4268

This bill requires the Metropolitan Council to design, construct, and fully fund certain elements of all bus rapid transit projects in Minnesota, including sidewalk curb ramps and signals that meet the latest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards at all intersection quadrants affected by the construction of a bus rapid transit station, as well as transit priority infrastructure like red transit pavement marking and traffic signal modifications. The bill also mandates that the Council upgrade impacted intersections to the most current ADA design standards, even if those standards exceed any lesser minimum requirements or suggestions set forth in other laws, regulations, or ADA guidance.
