We spoke and it looks like they listened! You can now park your car at the Park & Ride lots overnight (up to 7 days!). So feel trip to take that vacation or stay overnight in Downtown Minneapolis knowing your car will be waiting for you at the station.NorthStar Press Release - Overnight Parking Now Available!
Have you been hoping to take the Northstar Commuter Rail and Hiawatha Light Rail trains to the airport for a business trip or vacation? Or ride Northstar into Minneapolis for an overnight stay? Now you can.
In response to requests from Northstar supporters, Metro Transit added overnight parking in the park-and-ride lots at Northstar's suburban rail stations. The six-month pilot program designates up to 10 spaces each at the Big Lake, Elk River, Anoka, Coon Rapids-Riverdale and Fridley stations. The designated spaces are available for overnight parking only with each car permitted to occupy the space for no longer than seven days at a time. Signs mark the overnight parking spots. For more information, visit, www.metrotransit.com/northstar.
Also this week, the Anoka-Ramsey Community College began providing shuttle service for Northstar commuters traveling to and from its three locations in Coon Rapids.
At the request of students and employees, Anoka-Ramsey Community College is offering free morning and afternoon rides to and from the Coon Rapids-Riverdale station. The shuttle service will run Monday through Thursday on class days only. Visit Anoka-Ramsey Community College for more information about shuttle times and pick up locations.
Northstar has had a great first two months of service and we are pleased to pass these added amenities along to you. We will update you periodically about other Northstar developments, as well as efforts to extend Northstar train service all the way to St. Cloud. Thank you for your continued support.
I heart the NorthStar Rail! ..haha
