Mill Street pathway project

Share your thoughts on the preferred designs

Using your feedback, project staff have identified a preferred design for the project and are ready to hear your thoughts and answer your questions about it in the coming months.

After this summer, we will work to finalize the design and prepare for building the pathway in 2025.

Questions and comments can be directed to the project manager, Luke Sandstrom, luke.sandstrom@hennepin.us.

Community engagement goals

The project aims to achieve the following during our engagement efforts:
• Identify and evaluate pathway options
• Seek public feedback to help determine the preferred pathway option
• Create an initial pathway design and high-level cost estimate

Engagement opportunities

Our team is dedicated to gathering feedback about the various ways people use Mill Street today and how they would use a multi-use pathway.  We hosted two events in the community in early 2023 and have been out talking to residents along the corridor throughout the process. Your feedback helped to shape the project and allowed project staff to refine the potential designs.

You can learn more about our engagement work in phase 1 and what members of the community have shared by reading our engagement summary.
