The Cities of Minneapolis and Columbia Heights are in the process of reconstructing 37th Ave NE between Central Ave and Stinson Blvd, and 37th Pl NE between 37th Ave NE and Stinson Blvd.
The project includes complete replacement of the street infrastructure including curb and gutter, roadway pavement, driveway aprons and sidewalk. New medians will be installed at key intersections to provide better access to a new shared-use trail on the north side of 37th Ave NE. This project also features wide boulevards on both the north and south side of the street. Boulevards will feature green storm water infrastructure to help capture and treat surface water runoff before it is collected in the storm sewer system.
Greetings!
The remaining portion of the 37th Ave NE reconstruction project, between Central Ave NE and Johnson St NE, is expected to begin on Monday, April 15, 2024, weather permitting.
- The major activities will be:
- Remove and replace sidewalks and driveways between Central Ave and Johnson St NE (the south side of 37th Ave).
- Install the Green Storm Infrastructures system, trees and plants between Central Ave and Johnson St NE (on the south side of 37th/ boulevard area).
- Remove and replace the temporary patched shared use trail in front of the big retaining wall by Polk St. (on the north side of 37th Ave)
- There will be also some minor work between the Johnson and Stinson intersections, such as the sidewalk and shared-use trail gap by the railroad tracks.
-
Traffic Impact:
- The 37th Ave eastbound between Central Ave and Johnson St will be closed. The general traffic detour will set up (Central - 40th Ave NE - Johnson St).
- The westbound lane will remain open.
- Residents and businesses will have local access during construction, however; there will be some temporary disruptions. Crews will work to minimize the disruption and will communicate individually.
Thank you!!
