Hennepin County is working to make it safer and easier for people who walk, bike, and roll to travel on Washington Avenue (County Road 152) between 5th and 11th avenues in downtown Minneapolis. We plan to make improvements starting in 2028.
Project goals
Our designs will focus on ensuring people living, working and visiting the area can make connections safely and providing businesses with the access they need. Similar work was completed in 2017 on the Washington Avenue roadway and separated bikeway immediately to the west of 5th Avenue.
We’re including the following goals:
Providing safer ways for people walking, biking, and rolling to cross the roadway
Continuing the existing separated bikeway
Supporting transit to meet current and future needs
Making the area more inviting
Including green infrastructure
We’re collaborating with the city of Minneapolis on this project and will be using city and county plans to guide our work.
Pop-up at Mill City Market
Join us at the Mill City Farmers Market to shares your experiences traveling along and across Washington Avenue. We'll also share information about the project goals and timeline.
