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.

Take Survey
In earlier phases of engagement, we developed a problem statement to help shape the direction of our work. From there we shared ideas about how we could address that problem and created a new design concept.
Take a look at the design and tell us what you think. Later this fall, we will share a final concept to Richfield City Council. Your feedback from this survey will help us create that final design.
