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.

Participate in the City of Brooklyn Center's project to reconstruct Humboldt Avenue (CSAH 57) from 53rd Avenue to 57th Avenue in the City of Brooklyn Center. Purpose & Description: The existing roadway (last reconstructed in 1930) includes a rural environment that lacks curb and storm water structures to provide adequate drainage. Humboldt Avenue (CSAH 57) is one of the few remaining county roadways within the I-494/I-694 ring that includes a rural design. In addition, sidewalk facilities are currently limited to the west side of the roadway. The City of Brooklyn Center has indicated an interest in leading this capital project as there are city owned utilities that warrant replacement based on their current age and condition. The existing sanitary sewer consists of vitrified clay pipe (installed in 1952) that is experiencing root intrusion along approximately 50% of the system. Alternatively, the existing water system consists of cast iron pipe (installed in 1966) that is also experiencing corrosion. Staff recommends performing roadway reconstruction activities in conjunction with utility replacement to not only minimize capital costs, but also to reduce delays to the traveling public. It is anticipated that the proposed project will upgrade the corridor to a suburban design to better serve its users. Project elements likely will include new pavement, curb to provide sufficient drainage and upgraded ADA accommodations to better serve people with limited mobility. Additionally, in the 2000s, Housing and Economic Development completed a reconstruction project on Humboldt Avenue (CSAH 57) between Victory Memorial Drive and 53rd Avenue as part of the Humboldt Greenway partnership with the City of Minneapolis. This project presents an opportunity to implement a similar roadway design and streetscaping elements to encourage walking and biking along the corridor. 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).
