About the corridor

Osseo Road is part of County Road 152, which stretches from the northern to southern limits of Minneapolis.

In 2013, Osseo Road was reconfigured from a 4-lane roadway to a 3-lane roadway with on-street bicycle facilities.

Other projects near the area

A segment of County Road 152 south of this area, the Webber 44 corridor, is planned to be reconstructed in 2020.

In June 2019, the METRO C Line bus rapid transit line opened. The C Line route runs between downtown Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center including on Osseo Road.

Other projects are being planned for this corridor, including:

Community survey

Prior to the design, Hennepin County evaluated opportunities to identify top priorities for improvements. Starting in November 2019, the project team conducted a survey and participated in online and in-person engagement with the goal of talking with community members and learning about ways to improve Osseo Road between Penn and 49th avenues. 

We thank everyone who participated in the survey on how we can make this road work better for your community.
