In 2015, the Southwest LRT Project Office in cooperation with the City of
Minneapolis will be working with project partners, consultants, public artists, and
the community on station design, landscaping plans, and public art. This includes developing landscape designs for the Kenilworth Corridor between West Lake Station and Penn Station, and integrating public art into each station design.

Community participation is important to ensure that the stations and landscaping reflect the surrounding community and environment. Public engagement strategies will include the formation of an advisory committee as well as a series of open houses and design workshops.  

The City of Minneapolis is seeking six (6) interested community members
for appointment to the Southwest LRT Project, Kenilworth Station Art and Landscape Committee (KSALC). Click here to read more information on

will focus on restoration and enhancement of the greening and landscape in
the corridor.
