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

Reconstruct Penn Avenue (CSAH 32) from 75th Street to the Crosstown (Trunk Highway 62) eastbound ramps in the City of Richfield. Purpose & Description: The existing roadway is nearing the end of its useful life and warrants replacement. The segment extending from 75th Street to 66th Street (CSAH 53) was last reconstructed in 1964, whereas, the segment extending from 66th Street (CSAH 53) to Crosstown (TH 62) was last reconstructed in 1987. Routine maintenance activities, such as overlays, are no longer cost effective in preserving assets. Segments of the curb have experienced settling, diminishing their ability to collect water and define the roadway edge. In addition, much of the corridor lacks a consistent boulevard space, presenting uncomfortable conditions for people who walk, roll, and take transit (noting that Metro Transit Route 4 service currently operates along the corridor). The existing typical section generally includes a three-lane roadway with shoulder space available for people biking. The proposed project will improve the accessibility, mobility, and safety for people walking, using transit, biking, and driving through the implementation of proven Complete and Green Streets design strategies. The new roadway environment will be determined as part of the design process after extensive public engagement, data analysis, and environmental review. The project's scope is anticipated to include the replacement of deteriorated pavement, traffic signals, curb, and storm sewer structures. Specific safety improvements may include the installation of curb extensions and raised medians to calm traffic and improve the experience for people crossing. It is anticipated that multimodal elements such as dedicated bicycle facilities, sidewalk, ADA upgrades, and streetscaping will be explored as part of the project development process in order to improve the user experience for people walking, using transit, and biking along and across the corridor.
