Park and Portland Safety Improvements Open House

Hennepin County is planning to make safety improvements on Park Avenue and Portland Avenue between I-94 and 46th Street. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027. As the county prepares for this project, they want to hear about how you use Park and Portland avenues and how you think they should look in the future.

Park and Portland are a pair of one-way roads with buffered bike lanes that run from downtown through south Minneapolis. This safety project will provide improvements to enhance separation between people biking and vehicle traffic, reduce vehicle speeds, shorten crossing distances at intersections, upgrade pedestrian ramps to current standards, and replace outdated traffic signals.
