Community Meeting @ Traffic Calming at 40th St/2nd Avenue
Please join City of Minneapolis Public Works staff and Councilmember Elizabeth Glidden to discuss options for improving pedestrian/bicyclist safety and traffic calming at 2nd Avenue and 40th Street (the entrance to the pedestrian bridge across I-35W). Read more about the project here.
Tuesday, March 1st
6:30 – 8 pm
Dr Martin Luther King Park Recreation Center

Public Works Engineer Jack Yuzna will present options for improving the physical infrastructure near the entrance to the pedestrian bridge across I-35W. Options include a raised crosswalk (like a speed bump) or versions of a bumpout that extends the sidewalk on the west side of 2nd Avenue.
Please note that 2nd Avenue will be resurfaced during the 2011 construction season, from just north of 32nd Street to 34th Street and 37th Street to 42nd Street. Residents will receive separate notice of a community meeting in May regarding the resurfacing project and public hearing for assessments.  More information on resurfacing of 2nd Avenue is available at http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/cip/2ndAveS-resurface/index.asp.
