The CMC will use technical, community and business input to leverage opportunities and address issues throughout each stage of the proposed project including preliminary design, final design and construction.

Community and Business Advisory Committee
The Community and Business Advisory Committee (CBAC) will be comprised of local residents and businesses representatives along the Purple Line to advise the Metropolitan Council on how stations can best serve the neighborhoods and businesses where they are located. The committee will provide the community perspective on the overall project design. Participation on the committee will extend through the duration of the project. The committee will be led by co-chairs, one resident and one business community representative. CBAC members will be selected through an application process and represent community and business perspectives at each of the project's station areas.
