Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; sidewalk / parking lot; sidewalk / parking lot; and water / sewer project.

Participate in the City of Brooklyn Center's project to reconstruct Humboldt Avenue (CSAH 57) from 53rd Avenue to 57th Avenue in the City of Brooklyn Center. The existing roadway (last reconstructed in 1930) includes a rural environment that lacks curb and storm water structures to provide adequate drainage. Humboldt Avenue (CSAH 57) is one of the few remaining rural county roadways within the I-494/I-694 ring. The City of Brooklyn Center has indicated an interest in leading this capital project since there are city owned utilities that warrant replacement based on their current age and condition. The existing sanitary sewer consists of vitrified clay pipe (installed in 1952) that is experiencing root intrusion along approximately 50% of the system. The existing water system consists of cast iron pipe (installed in 1966) that is currently experiencing corrosion. Staff recommends performing roadway reconstruction activities in conjunction with utility replacement to minimize capital project costs and reduce delays to the travelling public. It is anticipated that the proposed project would upgrade the corridor to a suburban design to better serve its users. Project elements likely will include: new pavement, curb and gutter to provide sufficient drainage, and upgraded ADA accommodations to better serve persons with limited mobility. Additionally, in the 2000s, Community and Economic Development completed a reconstruction project on Humboldt Avenue (CSAH 57) between Victory Memorial Drive and 53rd Avenue as part of the Humboldt Greenway partnership with the City of Minneapolis. This project presents an opportunity to implement a similar roadway design and streetscaping elements to encourage walking and biking along the corridor. As February 16, 2023, this project is currently in the FY 2023 - 2027 CIP. Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction FY 2025. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2025. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
