Project overview

Since 2011, Northside residents and the City have explored a neighborhood greenway. This engagement identified an almost 4-mile route on Irving Ave N and Humboldt Ave N from 4th Ave N to Van White Memorial Blvd in north Minneapolis. The project will include traffic calming and safety improvements, new green spaces, and other community amenities.

The project will connect:

  • Parks
  • Schools
  • Local businesses
  • Other community destinations

This project includes improvements for:

  • Biking
  • Walking
  • Traffic calming

Project goals

The following are goals of the project:
