Plan Status
The 46th & Hiawatha Station Area Master Plan is part of a series of long-range studies being completed for transit-oriented development (TOD) around Hiawatha LRT station sites. The area of study includes Longfellow, Standish-Ericsson, and Nokomis East. It focuses on land uses, urban design, public infrastructure, and amenities located within a 1/2-mile of the station. The purpose of the Plan is to guide changes that build upon neighborhood strengths and capitalize on opportunities that may include:
- Future mixes of new businesses, housing, and neighborhood amenities;
- Improvements to the pedestrian environment;
- Enhancement of parks and green space; and
- Improving the accessibility and fit of the station with the neighborhood.
The Plan was developed with public participation and guidance from both community and technical advisory committees. The Plan will inform City policy, guiding changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan (the Minneapolis Plan), zoning regulations, redevelopment activity, and capital improvement plans.
Newsletters describing the process and the results of public workshops are included below:
