Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Design 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.

Reconstruct Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52) from 77th Street to 66th Street (CSAH 53) in the City of Richfield. The existing roadway (last reconstructed in 1961) is nearing the end of its useful life and warrants replacement. Routine maintenance activities (such as overlays and crackseals) are no longer cost effective in preserving assets. The roadway was originally constructed as concrete pavement, however, has since been overlaid with bituminous pavement; resulting in premature surface cracking at joints. The existing sidewalk facilities are located immediately adjacent to the roadway; causing a feeling of discomfort for people walking. The curb has experienced settling, greatly diminishing its ability to collect water and define the roadway edge. Many intersections do not meet current standards for ADA accommodations, presenting challenges for people with limited mobility. In 2014, the county completed an overlay project along this section of Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52). As part of project, the four-lane undivided configuration was converted to a three-lane design to better facilitate turning movements for people driving and provide traffic calming. Given the age and condition of roadway assets, the timing of this capital project will coincide with the service life extension provided by the overlay project. The proposed project will reconstruct existing assets, including: pavement, curb, storm water structures, sidewalk facilities, and traffic signals. Complete streets design strategies such as curb extensions, raised medians, crossing beacons, bikeway accommodations, and streetscaping features will also be considered in an effort to benefit multimodal users. Also, improvements to the existing bikeway accommodations will be considered during the project development process to enhance bikeway connections to the nearby Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail and 66th Street (CSAH 53). Additionally, it's anticipated that this project will complement MnDOT's upcoming I-494 Corridors of Commerce Project that will make improvements to Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52) between American Boulevard and 77th Street. Additionally, this project is located within close proximity to the county's Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52) at 67th Street Safety Project (Capital Project 2201500). Staff will coordinate the design and construction activities for these two projects to not only promote efficiencies, but to also minimize disruptions to the travelling public. This project is in included in the Hennepin County FY 2024 - 2028 CIP. As of October 3, 2024, per owner (City of Richfield), project is currently in design with construction taking place in 2026.
