Starting today, Metro Transit's park and ride lot at Myth will close and riders are being directed to a temporary park and ride lot at Maplewood Mall.

Routes 265, 270 and 272 will pick up and drop off near the Sears lot.

Construction on a permanent park and ride lot and ramp at Maplewood Mall continues. When it opens this summer, the ramp and lot will accommodate nearly 1,000 free parking spaces.

The $13 million project will include a lobby area, geothermal heating and cooling system, LED lighting and outdoor bike racks.,
