              Name: Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Newport Transit Station for Red Rock Corridor
              Date: November 25, 2013
              Time: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM CST
              Event Description:
              The Washington County Regional Railroad Authority is celebrating the construction of the Newport Transit Station located along the Red Rock Corridor. The Red Rock Corridor is a proposed 30-mile transit-way, connecting the Twin Cities’ southeastern suburbs (including Hastings and Red Wing) to St. Paul and Minneapolis. The Newport Transit Station will be a critical stop along the Red Rock Corridor that will increase transportation options, mobility, and build the ridership base within the Corridor. The Newport Station will initially be served by Metro Transit Route 364 with express bus service to downtown St. Paul. As ridership grows, the station’s design is flexible to accommodate all types of enhanced transit service within the Red Rock Corridor including a potential Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) option. Congresswoman Betty McCollum will be at the ceremony, located at 2222 Maxwell Avenue, Newport, MN  55055. Light refreshments will be provided.
