CITY OF HOPKINS
Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
Mike Mornson, City Manager
From: Kersten Elverum, Director of Planning & Development
Date: June 11, 2019
Subject: SW LRT Update
_____________________________________________________________________
PURPOSE
The purpose of this item is to give the City Council an update on the status of the SW
LRT/Green Line Extension project.
INFORMATION
Construction has begun on the project while work continues to secure the Full Funding
Grant Agreement (FFGA) with the Federal Transit Administration. Staff from the
Southwest Project Office (SPO) will be at the work session to provide an update on
both construction and the FFGA, as well as upcoming impacts and issues specific to
Hopkins.
FUTURE ACTION
The City of Hopkins will continue to be a project partner throughout the construction of
the project. While most agreements are in place, staff is currently working on a
possible change order to allow for regional treatment of storm water at the Shady Oak
Station in cooperation with the City of Minnetonka and the SPO. That agreement would
be brought forward in July if it continues to be a viable solution.
