As a frequent passenger of Route 355, I rely on it for my daily travel to work in Minneapolis from Woodbury. I am not alone in this; our bus route, Route 355, is a lifeline for hundreds of us every day. But our reliable bus service is under threat. Scheduled for suspension in 2027 and set to be replaced by the Metro Transit Gold Line, this change also implies the removal of Route 94 between Minneapolis and Saint Paul, a decision that might significantly increase our commute time.

But this is much more than mere inconvenience. Our Route 355 is pivotal in providing us access to essential services, schools, and workplaces. Our Route 355 plays a crucial role in easing traffic congestion and lowering environmental impact. 

We understand that cities evolve and so must their public transportation systems. Still, we ask for a thoughtful and inclusive process that weighs the pros and cons, balancing progress with the real and present needs of those who rely on Route 355 every day.

By signing this petition, you are lending your voice to ensure that our commute remains feasible, reliable, safe, and the environmental impact of our travel stays minimal.

Sign and stand with us to preserve our indispensable Bus Route 355!
