News release
The public is invited to a public meeting from 5 to 7 p.m.
on Thursday, March 13 to discuss the reconstruction project on West Broadway
Avenue (County Road 103) in Brooklyn Park. The proposed project begins just
south of Candlewood Drive and continues to just north of 93rd Avenue. The
proposed layout provides a safe, effective and expandable corridor for
pedestrians, bicyclists, transit users and motorists.
Residents and business owners will have opportunities to provide
input on the preliminary design concept and design features for the area,
including improvements for cyclists, transit users and pedestrians. The project
is currently scheduled to begin in 2015.
Significant changes have been made to the original proposed concept
from 2007, and the county and City of Brooklyn Park are seeking additional
feedback from the public on those changes.
The meeting will take place at Brooklyn Park City Hall –
Lampi Meeting Room, 5200 85th Avenue North, Brooklyn Park, MN 55443.
