Red Bus Lane on Chicago Avenue at Nigh
A dedicated red bus-only lane runs along Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, part of the city’s recent investments in transit priority corridors. These painted lanes are designed to give buses consistent travel times through dense urban segments, especially during peak hours, and they align with regional plans to improve service reliability on key north–south routes. Late at night the corridor is quiet, with the reflective pavement markings and overhead lighting emphasizing the straight line of the transit path through the Midtown area.
