Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Bloomington, 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 Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52) from 98th Street (CSAH 1) to 89th Street in the City of Bloomington. Purpose & Description: The existing roadway (last reconstructed in 1962) 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, causing premature surface cracking at joints after the completion of each pavement overlay. 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 include ADA accommodations that do not meet current design requirements, causing challenges for people with limited mobility. It should be noted that the intersection of Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52) at 90th Street was updated in 2010 as part of a spot mobility project that was completed by the City of Bloomington. Staff will explore opportunities to avoid disturbing these recent investments at this intersection. Additionally, a three-lane typical section was introduced along Nicollet Avenue (CSAH 52) as part of a paving project in 2019 to better facilitate vehicle turning movements and provide traffic calming. The proposed project is anticipated to include new assets, including pavement, curb, storm water structures, sidewalk, and traffic signals. Specific pedestrian crossing enhancements (such as curb extensions, raised medians, and crossing beacons), bikeway accommodations, and streetscaping features will also be considered as part of the project development process in an effort to benefit non-motorized users. Furthermore, this project presents an opportunity to improve school arrival and dismissal operations for Kennedy High School located near the southern termini of the project Construction Q2 2027 - Q4 2028 Completion 2029 The project is included in the County 2026-2030 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
