More about the corridor

Marshall Street Northeast 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. Though parking along the corridor serves people driving to local destinations, the roadway currently lacks public transportation routes and bicycle facilities.

Anticipated project timeline

  • Fall 2019 – Winter 2020: community engagement
  • Spring/Summer 2020: design, additional community engagement
  • Summer 2021: repaving and restriping

Public involvement

  • Balanced all modes of transportation throughout the corridor
  • Improved connections and access to the river and green spaces
  • Planned for accessible, continuous and separated bikeways and sidewalks
  • Strengthened connections to Marshall Street's businesses and destinations
  • Worked with all stakeholders to develop sustainable parking solutions, create safe places for all users, and improve transit connections
