ESABA - A Whole New Orientation

March 28, 2023

Greetings!

Score one for the Purple Pride! Maplewood will get a chance to take a look down White Bear Ave at the Greater East Side. This past week Ramsey County Commissioners decided to expand their exploration for routes for the Purple Line Bus Rapid Transit project. They'll work with the Met Council to study White Bear Ave from Maplewood down to Maryland and Maryland to Phalen Village. This means a lot more East Siders will potentially see this service including activating the whole corridor on White Bear Avenue. What does that really mean... it means the Purple conversation is getting ready to POP! Read more... and get your jaw loosened up. We've got talkin' to do and a whole new orientation to explore.

Along the line:

A Whole New Orientation...

Is Possible. The Purple Line

Will get another look along a White Bear Ave route that would light things us for the Greater East Side. This would be an awesome boost to the development potential of one of our major corridors because the dedicated guideway and stations would be permanent infrastructure investment. And we know that permanence will lead to more investment. Read more and get ready for conversation.

April 1, 3 - 10pm

6 brand new cocktails. We will have live music - the Infernos, art vendors, and a food truck as well.
