Lake Street improvements
Changes are coming to Lake Street
Lake Street (County Road 3) is one of Minneapolis’ most important and lively roads. It connects a diverse collection of neighborhoods, cultural institutions, restaurants and small businesses from Bde Maka Ska to the Mississippi River.
Upcoming projects, including a repaving of the entire corridor to address pavement needs is being considered to compliment Metro Transit’s B Line project, providing the opportunity to rethink and improve how Lake Street is used by all who walk, bike, roll, drive and use transit.

As the first Minnesota county to adopt a Complete Streets policy (2009), Hennepin County recognized the importance of addressing the needs of people walking, biking, rolling and using transit, along with the needs of people driving. Complete Streets are designed, built and maintained to be safe and convenient for people of all ages and abilities.
Updates to Lake Street align with this policy, including:
- A focus on residents with consideration of the character of area, community values and user needs
- Enhanced safety, mobility and accessibility for all corridor users
- Design that is context sensitive, with each project looking different based on the community and setting
