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

UPDATE :Reconstruct Cedar Avenue (CSAH 152) from 150' north of Lake Street (CSAH 3) to 24th Street in the City of Minneapolis. Purpose & Description: The existing roadway (last reconstructed in the 1960s) 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 current roadway consists of a two-lane undivided configuration with on-street parking. No dedicated turn lanes for people driving currently exist along the corridor. Although sidewalk facilities are provided along both sides of the roadway, the lack of traffic calming design strategies along Cedar Avenue (CSAH 152) creates an uncomfortable crossing experience for people walking. This roadway provides key first mile/last mile connections to transit service, east/west bikeway facilities, transit connections, and important community services. The proposed project is anticipated to include new pavement, curb, storm water utilities, sidewalk facilities, ADA accommodations, and traffic signals. It is anticipated that Complete and Green Streets design strategies (such as raised medians, curb extensions, and streetscaping) will be introduced to not only improve the crossing experiences for people walking, but also to manage vehicle speeds. The addition of a new bikeway facility will be evaluated as part of the project development process. This project presents a number of opportunities to coordinate with planned improvements in the area. First, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is planning improvements at Cedar Field Park that will generate crossing activity of Cedar Avenue (CSAH 152). Second, the City of Minneapolis is leading the Phillips Neighborhood Traffic Safety Project to promote traffic calming along nearby streets, as well as the Little Earth Transportation Study to identify opportunities to improve safety, comfort, and placemaking in the area bounded by 18th Avenue, 26th Street, Ogema Place, and 24th Street. Lastly, Metro Transit has identified Route 22, which operates along Cedar Avenue (CSAH 152) as a suitable corridor for Arterial Bus Rapid Transit (ABRT) service as part of its Network Next study. This project was awarded federal formula funding through the Metropolitan Council's 2022 Regional Solicitation. This project represents Phase 1 (of 4) of capital improvements anticipated for the Cedar Avenue (CSAH 152) corridor in the City of Minneapolis.
