Hennepin Ave S and Lake St connectivity improvements

Project overview

This project will make improvements for people walking, biking, taking transit and driving. Work will take place in two phases. Interim changes will happen on Hennepin Ave in fall 2026. Permanent improvements are planned for Hennepin Ave and Lake St in 2028.

Permanent improvement project goals (construction 2028):

• Maintain plenty of space for people walking and rolling.

Interim improvement project goals (construction 2026):

• Make things clearer and easier to expect for everyone before the planned changes in 2028.
