Light rail transit (LRT)

The Prospect Park Neighborhood is directly served by three LRT stations on the MetroTransit Green Line running between the two downtowns (St. Paul and Minneapolis): Prospect Park Station, Stadium Village Station and Westgate Station. The Green Line opened in 2014 to much fanfare and eventually phased out the venerable #16 Bus & #94 Express Bus that connected the two downtowns.

Public art at Prospect Park station

From Rider's Almanac: Minneapolis artist Janet Lofquist's station artwork weaves together Prospect Park's residential and industrial heritages. Decorative aluminum bands wrap station poles and include cut-outs in the pattern of the nearby Witch's Tower. The platform concrete is colored in earth tones and includes the outlines of large flax seeds, which were historically stored in the grain silos north of the station. "I wanted to bring in that element of industry that existed on the north side of University Avenue but also consider the residential element," Lofquist said. "In some ways, these elements are at odds. But I found a way to weave together that story in an abstract way." Lofquist also created the artwork for 10th Street Station and Robert Street Station.
