Hennepin County, in partnership with the City of Minneapolis, is planning to reconstruct Marshall Street NE (County Road 23) between 3rd Avenue NE and Lowry Avenue (County Road 153) beginning in Spring 2027.
Marshall Street is a key north-south roadway in Northeast Minneapolis. The corridor is characterized by a mix of land uses, including commercial, residential and light industrial. A 2023 mill and overlay project repaved Marshall Street between Lowry Avenue and 37th Avenue. Marshall Street is identified in the Hennepin County Bicycle Transportation Plan and City of Minneapolis All Ages and Abilities bikeway network as a future dedicated bike route.

The project team hosted an open house at Elsie’s on March 11, 2025, and at the Pierre Bottineau Library on March 17, 2025.
We completed our first phase of engagement between August and October 2024. We collected feedback both in-person and online. We heard from residents that safety is a concern along the corridor, and many expressed a desire to see lower vehicle speeds and safer pedestrian crossings. Residents also expressed a desire to see more space for walking, biking and greenery along Marshall Street. Review the complete engagement summary below.
