Site work and paving for a road / highway in Plymouth, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; and for paving for a road / highway.

Reconstruct Lowry Avenue NE (CSAH 153) from Johnson Street NE to St. Anthony Boulevard in the Cities of Minneapolis and St. Anthony. Note that the local name changes from Lowry Avenue NE to Kenzie Terrace NE at Stinson Parkway that represents the municipal boundary. Purpose & Description: The existing roadway (last reconstructed in 1968) is nearing the end of its useful life and warrants replacement as routine maintenance activities are no longer cost effective in preserving assets. The segment extending from Johnson Street NE to Stinson Parkway was originally constructed as concrete pavement that has since received bituminous overlays over its concrete surface. These conditions are undesirable as they result in premature cracking in the pavement surface at pre-existing joints. West of Stinson Parkway, the roadway consists of a 2-lane undivided section with off-street parking provided along both sides. Whereas, east of Stinson Parkway, the roadway consists of a 4-lane divided roadway with turn lanes. Throughout the corridor, sidewalk facilities are located immediately adjacent to the roadway, include various obstructions within the walking route, and many pedestrian ramps do not satisfy current design standards. Housing and Economic Development completed the Lowry Avenue NE Framework Plan in 2015 that identified needs in terms of mobiility and development potential. One study theme included a more pedestrian friendly environment along Lowry Avenue NE (CSAH 153). The proposed project is anticipated to include new pavement, curb, storm water utilities, sidewalk facilities, bicycle facilities, ADA accommodations, and traffic signals. It is anticipated that a boulevard will be constructed to provide space for streetscaping elements, separate people walking from people driving, and provide space for signage and snow storage. Green Streets strategies will be explored as part of the project development process, especially for the segment extending from Stinson Parkway to St. Anthony Parkway to promote adequate stormwater management. The proposed project also provides an opportunity to coordinate with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to close a trail gap within the Grand Rounds Regional Trail network located at St. Anthony Boulevard. This project represents Phase 3 (of 3) of capital improvements anticipated for the Lowry Avenue NE (CSAH 153) corridor and is directly related to Capital Project 2140800 and Capital Project 2141000. The project is included in the County 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of November 12, 2025, further details have not yet been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
