The Metropolitan Council is hitting the road to connect directly with the communities we serve!

Met Council Member Robert Liligren represents Metropolitan Council District 6, covering the southern portions of Minneapolis. This part of the region has the highest transit use per capita and offers valuable lessons about how thoughtful planning and investment connects people to opportunity.

We will reflect on transformative historical projects such as Midtown Exchange, examine emerging opportunities for transit-oriented development, and discuss how people-centered partnerships expand access, strengthen communities, and build a prosperous region for generations to come. 

What to Expect

  • 4:30 p.m. – Open house to meet and mingle with community leaders, local policymakers, and Metropolitan Council Members. Learn about our work across the region and how we are advancing a more inclusive, sustainable seven-county metropolitan area.
  • 5:00 p.m. – Committee meeting followed by a conversation hosted by civic educator and entertainer Tane Danger. Featuring Metropolitan Council Members and community voices, the discussion will explore how the Twin Cities region sets an example for what happens when transit, bike trails, and destinations are aligned to create connected communities empowered to thrive.
Any individual who requires assistance to participate should contact [email protected] or call 651-602-1000. Requests for special assistance should be made at least 24 hours in advance.
