    Reservations are currently being taken for the May round of this year’s Green Line Extension LRT construction site walking tours. The tours will be led by knowledgeable project office staff.

    Each walk is limited to 20 people.

    The free guided tours will visit one or more construction sites. Safety vests and hard hats will be provided. Although additional walks are planned throughout the summer, EPLN recommends registering for the May walks as soon as possible. They tend to fill up fast.

    For additional information, contact: James.Mockovciak@metrotransit.org
