    Reservations should be made as soon as possible for late July walking tours of Metro Green Line Extension worksites in Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, and Hopkins.

    The tours are limited to 15 people. As of Wednesday, July 17, the following tours have openings:

    • Blake Road Station (Hopkins); Friday, July 26: 10-11 a.m.
    • City West Station and Highway 62 tunnel (Eden Prairie); Saturday, July 27: 1-2:30 p.m.
