The City is moving ahead with the redesign and reconstruction of Hennepin Avenue between Washington Avenue and 12th Street. The reconstructed Hennepin Avenue will continue to accommodate all modes within the existing right-of-way:

• Sidewalk area able to support pedestrian activities with space for planting and furnishing zones
• One-way bikeways behind the curb
• Space for enhanced transit stops compatible with future Arterial Bus Rapid Transit service
• Generally, four vehicle lanes, with Hennepin Avenue remaining a two-way street

Utility work will begin on Hennepin Avenue between Washington Avenue and 12th Street in 2019, with major construction from 2020 through 2022.
