Is light rail actually coming to Brooklyn Park?
Yes, though not soon. The METRO Blue Line extension will include five stations in Brooklyn Park, from 63rd Avenue and Highway 81 north to the Oak Grove Parkway terminus. The Metropolitan Council’s June 16, 2026 budget update put the project at $3.58 billion, engineering near 90 percent complete, construction starting late 2027 and wrapping by 2032, with passenger service in 2033. That date has moved before.
