[Mpls] Remaking Lake Street

[Shawn Lewis]

The $25 million, three-year Hennepin County-federal-city-private 
business project is the first reconstruction of the street 
since 1954, when the streetcars were mothballed.

• The three-year, $25 million reconstruction project 
will begin May 16.

• The Midtown Exchange at Lake Street and Chicago Avenue S., 
which will include Allina's new headquarters, condos, 
a global market and a hotel, will open later this year.

• The road project that provides direct access from I
nterstate Hwy. 35W is in the design stage. 

• Eventually, the reconstruction of Lake Street 
will stretch from the Mississippi River to Uptown.

I hope this same amount of money is invested in 
West Broadway in North Minneapolis as well.
