MnDOT is interested in your vision for the future of University Ave and Central Ave
The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is developing a future vision for the 10-mile stretch of Highway 47 (University Ave.) and Highway 65 (Central Ave.) that extends from where they meet in Northeast Minneapolis northward through Columbia Heights, Hilltop, and Fridley to County Highway 10 in Blaine and Spring Lake Park.
Along this stretch, there is a variety of people, activities, and concerns. Along this stretch, there is a variety of people, activities, and concerns. Last summer, more than 500 people commented on ideas like different types of roadways, new intersection designs, and access changes at driveways and cross streets. These include parkway treatments, intersection curb bump-outs, better pedestrian crossings, roundabouts, and dedicated bike lanes.
MnDOT is now combining these concepts into groups of improvements that work well together to meet users' needs. They will hold an informational meeting addressing the area of the project north of 694 at Fridley City Hall on March 23. Learn more about the project.
