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.
