This street represents the municipal boundary between Minneapolis and Columbia Heights. The project will include sidewalks, ADA-compliant pedestrian ramps, an off-street bike trail, boulevards with trees, new curb and gutter, new pavement, traffic signal improvements, pedestrian street lighting, and utility improvements as needed. Construction is anticipated to begin in the 2023 construction season.
