Study Details
Why is this study being done?
This planning study will examine one-way, two-way, and hybrid roadway configurations along the Hennepin and First Avenue corridors with consideration for quality of life, access, safety, connectivity, and mobility for all modes of travel. The study will be coordinated amongst City, County, MnDOT, and Metro Transit staff to identify draft roadway concepts and document impacts (i.e., pros and cons) associated with any potential implementation.
There will be particular attention to the following elements:
- access to and from primary destination points,
- innovative pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure,
- providing a safe environment for all travel modes,
- alignment with future development plans,
- changes in traffic operations and parking demand,
- existing and planned transit service, and
- consideration of travel through the study area.
Key Study Tasks:
- Data Collection
- Existing Conditions Inventory and Analysis
- Alternatives Analysis
