Project overview

The proposed project will fix and rebuild about 0.85 miles of 10 different street areas in different places. These areas go from 10th Ave N to 23rd Ave N, and from I-94 to the Mississippi River.
 
Right now, each part of the street has two lanes for cars, one going each way, and there are places to park along most of the segments. The streets in this project are mostly next to industrial properties. The project is a reconstruction project involving the entire right-of-way and will include:
  • new sidewalks
  • ADA compliant pedestrian ramps
  • pavement, curb and gutter, and utility improvements
The project will also include improvements to signals, signs, and markings on the road, if needed.

Project purpose

This project is intended to make the roads better for everyone who uses them, whether they're walking, biking, or driving. Some of these roads were built a long time ago, as far back as 1905, and others were built more recently, in 1972. Many of them are in bad shape, with the pavement in "very poor" or "poor" condition according to the City's rating scale. Some of them don't even have proper pavement, curbs, or gutters.
 
This project provides an opportunity to incorporate:
  • ADA compliant curb ramps
  • improve boulevards with trees
  • address sidewalk obstructions
  • build street segments with proper curbs and gutters
The City doesn't have exact numbers for how many people walk, bike, or drive on these roads, but we know that quite a few people use them in different ways.
