Hi-Lake is being redesigned to create a safer intersection that supports a more connected community and climate-friendly transportation options. The project goals and permanent changes planned for 2024 reflect the results of a robust engagement process (2017-2019).
Changes planned for Hi-Lake are intended to:
- Increase safety for all forms of transportation
- Add space for people walking, biking, rolling, and using transit
- Improve connectivity and access for people across neighborhoods
- Support climate-friendly transportation
This is a multi-partner project led by Hennepin County and the City of Minneapolis, and designed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). Metro Transit is working in close coordination on the project as it plans B Line Bus Rapid Transit services for Lake Street and considers potential station upgrades at the Lake Street Blue Line LRT station.
