Project coordination: 44th Avenue/Webber Parkway reconstruction project
-
Hennepin County is planning to reconstruct 44th Avenue/Webber Parkway from Penn to Fremont in 2020
-
The identification of platform locations is not feasible until reconstruction project design advances in 2018.
-
In coordination with Hennepin County, staff has determined that D Line platforms are generally feasible on 44th Avenue between Penn and Oliver. The City of Minneapolis also supports the placement of a D Line station in the 44th Avenue and Penn-Oliver area. Design considerations will include bicycle-transit interactions in an effort to maintain bicycle facilities throughout the length of the 44th Avenue reconstruction project.
-
To minimize disruption, construction of D Line platforms will be coordinated with the 44th Avenue/Webber Parkway reconstruction project to the extent possible.
