18th Ave S and Little Earth demonstration project and transportation study
A street demonstration project and transportation study in partnership with Little Earth Residents Association.
Dates
2020-2022
Location
18th Avenue South between 24th and 26th Streets and Ogema Place and Stately Street East PhillipsProject overview
In 2020, the City of Minneapolis and Ward 9 Council office wanted to make local streets safer. We talked to the communities of Little Earth and East Phillips neighborhood. People from those communities helped show us ways to make their streets safer.
This was a reaction to worries about safety problems that came up during the summer of 2020.
The City of Minneapolis and Little Earth Residents Association (LERA) worked on long-term changes to the streets. Together, they created a Transportation Study and an Engagement Plan. These changes will make local streets safer for residents and visitors.
