New Nicollet Redevelopment: new roadway and public space design concepts 

The City of Minneapolis is sharing an update with community members on new roadway and public space design concepts for the New Nicollet Redevelopment Project at an open house March 7 at the Abyssinia Cultural Center, 322 W. Lake St. Based on community input, City policies and project goals, the project team has recommended concepts for the New Nicollet roadway and public spaces on the site. City staff will present the selections to the community before staff take the recommendations to the Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Jacob Frey this spring.

Learn more about the New Nicollet Redevelopment Project and how to stay up to date on the project. The City plans to construct Nicollet Avenue between Lake Street and Cecil Newman Lane and will work in partnership to develop the remaining site into a high-density, mixed-use, walkable area. The City demolished the former Kmart building in November of 2023. This project is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape this site in south Minneapolis and reknit the neighborhoods around the former Kmart site together. The next phase of the New Nicollet Redevelopment Project will focus on the development and the community engagement is expected to start in summer 2024.
