The project connects Saint Mary's Hospital, the Mayo Clinic Downtown Campus, the Mayo Civic Center, the University of Minnesota-Rochester, the Downtown Transit Center, and the Rochester-Olmsted Government Center to established urban neighborhoods, a proposed 13-acre transit-oriented development (TOD) referred to as the West Transit Village, and the proposed Downtown Waterfront Southeast TOD site.
