Hennepin County is hosting a public workshop to gather
community input on a redevelopment plan for Lowry Avenue Northeast. The
workshop will be held on Thursday, February 27 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Edison High
School media room, located at 700 22nd Avenue Northeast. The workshop will
begin with a brief presentation followed by community input activities on
transportation and economic development opportunities at the six intersections.
There will also be opportunities to provide feedback on bicycle and pedestrian

planning study will focus on the Lowry Avenue intersections of Marshall Street,
Second Street, University Avenue, Washington Street, Monroe Street and Central
Avenue, looking for redevelopment opportunities and road improvements for
pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
The plan will also look at possible improvements to bicycle
and pedestrian access within existing roadway between Marshall Street and
