Rochester's bus rapid transit project exceeds budget by $40 million, totaling $175 million, awaiting City Council approval.
The proposed bids for Rochester's Link Bus Rapid Transit system, aimed at supporting the Destination Medical Center initiative, have come in $40 million over the original budget, totaling about $175 million.
This system, designed to offer free transportation to Mayo Clinic employees, patients, and residents, has already received $85 million from the federal government, with the rest coming from state aid and a county .25% sales tax.
The City Council must approve the bid in March for the project to begin this year and become operational by late 2022, with additional costs covered by state and county funds, not local property taxes.
