Penn Avenue safety improvements

We are working to improve safety and mobility on Penn Avenue (County Road 32) between Highway 62 and West 75th Street in Richfield. In partnership with the City of Richfield, we plan to reconstruct the road in 2028.

As part of the design process for this project, we are conducting community and stakeholder engagement to inform the project design in 2025 and 2026.

Join us for an open house

We would like to learn about your vision for Penn Avenue before we draft concepts. You are invited to an upcoming open house to share your feedback on the goals for the project and what features they would like to see on Penn Avenue.

  • Creating a vision for Penn Avenue

    From June to September 2025, we gathered feedback about community experiences through more than 3,000 points of contact with the public during our first phase of engagement with the following engagement activities:

    • Open House
    • Virtual comment map
    • Tabling at Penn Fest, and Richfield Farmers Market, and St. Nicholas Church
    • Multiple conversations with the Richfield Transportation Commission
    • One-on-one conversations with Penn Central business owners
    • Project information mailers and promotional materials


    We used your feedback, the 2021 Penn Avenue Study, policies, and technical information to develop project goals for Penn Avenue to create a vision that reflects the feedback we heard this past summer. These goals serve as the basis from which we have developed roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian features and intersection treatments on which to get your input.

    Join us Tuesday, November 18 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at Sheridan Hills Elementary to help us decide what to include in the new design of Penn Avenue.

    Your input will help us develop design concepts next spring that we will bring to the public for feedback.
