The city, in partnership with the county, is leading a safety project at three intersections along Lake Street: one intersection on Franklin Avenue and two intersections along Cedar Avenue. Minneapolis was awarded $990,000 in federal funds through the Highway Safety Improvement Program for this project which will enhance safety, accessibility and drainage at these intersections. Additionally, the city plans to reconstruct Bryant Avenue this year from Lake to 50th Street to improve safety, access and drainage along the corridor. The city held several public engagement meetings during project development to understand and develop a design concept that addresses the community’s needs.
Proposed agreements PW 12-20-22 and PW 14-20-22 stipulate that the city will lead the projects, develop the plans and specifications with county staff input, receive bids, and administer the contracts. The county will participate in the construction and associated engineering costs.
After project completion, the county will own the signal systems at the Cedar Avenue/Sixth Street South, Lake Street/ Bde Maka Ska Parkway/Dean Parkway and Lake Street/Thomas Avenue intersections. The city will maintain these assets consistent with the County/City Road Maintenance Agreement.
