- Late-night train horns are disturbing neighbors in the west metro. A remedy could cost millions.
Late-night train horns are disturbing residents in Edina and St. Louis Park, prompting studies to create quiet zones by upgrading train crossings. The estimated costs are $10 million for 16 crossings in St. Louis Park and $7 million for seven crossings in Edina. Federal law requires horns at crossings that do not meet safety standards, and funding for upgrades remains unresolved.
- Edina pedestrian bridge construction underway, closures on Highway 62
Edina is replacing the Rosland Park pedestrian bridge, causing Highway 62 closures, with the new bridge expected to open next summer. The existing bridge, built in the 1960s, does not meet current accessibility standards and was damaged in 2022 crashes. Highway 62 westbound on-ramp closures are scheduled through the fall, with potential 2027 extensions.
