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

Multimodal improvements along Park Avenue (CSAH 33) and Portland Avenue (CSAH 35) from 38th Street to 18th Street in the City of Minneapolis. Purpose & Description: The current one-way configurations of Park Avenue (CSAH 33) and Portland Avenue (CSAH 35) generally include two travel lanes, a buffered bike lane, parking lanes on both sides, and sidewalk facilities on both sides of the street. These A-minor relievers are heavily used by both people biking and people driving as these corridors connect the City of Bloomington to Downtown Minneapolis. The existing intersections are relatively uncomfortable for people walking or rolling as the crossing distances are relatively long due to the absence of Complete Streets design elements. In addition, the bicycling experience along Park Avenue (CSAH 33) and Portland Avenue (CSAH 35) is also uncomfortable as there is no physical separation between people driving and people biking. As a result, a relatively high percentage of motorists have been observed travelling above the posted 30 mph speed limit. The objectives of this project include improving safety, comfort, and accessibility along Park Avenue (CSAH 33) and Portland Avenue (CSAH 35), with a focus on introducing Complete and Green Streets design strategies to promote traffic calming. Intersections are anticipated to be redesigned to incorporate curb extensions to slow turning vehicles. Also, the project is anticipated to introduce a protected bikeway design to provide better separation from people driving and parked vehicles. Protected intersection designs will be evaluated along the corridor to improve crossings for east/west multimodal connections. Lastly, ADA accommodations will be upgraded, including the installation of APS at signalized intersections, to promote accessibility. Federal formula funding was awarded in both 2022 (CP 2220301) and 2024 (CP 2220302) through the Metropolitan Council's Regional Solicitation for this project.
