Station overview

Penn Station is in a scenic valley by the city. The station is located within easy access to the Bryn Mawr neighborhood and the Chain of Lakes. The surrounding area includes Cedar Lake Park, employers along Wayzata Boulevard, and retail services clustered around the intersection of Penn Avenue and Cedar Lake Road.

Future access to the station will be via a bridge from the northern bluff, where mid- to high-density development is expected. Strong bicycle and pedestrian connections will encourage station use from the Bryn Mawr neighborhood on both sides of Interstate 394.
