May 14, 2013, Tuesday - Washington Avenue Public Input Meeting at Mill City Museum
Time: 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Location: Mill City Museum, 704 South 2nd Street
A public meeting will be held on May 14, 2013, to seek public input on urban design features including bicycle and pedestrian facilities, streetscaping, parking, and overall integration of these elements along the Washington Avenue corridor. All residents, businesses, property owners and other interested stakeholders are encouraged to attend.
A previous public meeting was held in December 2012 where input was received on existing conditions, challenges, opportunities, and preliminary alternatives. The purpose of this second public meeting is to gain public input on project recommendations and alternative urban design concepts. An on-line survey will also be conducted following the public meeting to gather additional public input on the project recommendations.
Project overview
Hennepin County, in coordination with the City of Minneapolis, is preparing for the reconstruction of Washington Avenue South (County Road 152) between Hennepin Avenue and 5th Avenue South. The project is in the early stages of the project development process and construction is anticipated in 2014.
Hennepin Avenue to 5th Avenue South will remain the limits for the proposed reconstruction project. The concept plans will be used to generate a preliminary layout on which the detailed design for the project will be based.
5th Avenue South to I-35W is not identified as a reconstruction project at this time. However, the concept plans will provide guidance as future projects are identified and as funding becomes available.
