Lake Street is a major arterial through South Minneapolis. As such, it already plays an important role in serving our residents and businesses. The introduction of Metro Transit's B Line project, along with improvements to the corridor, provided an opportunity to rethink and improve how Lake Street is used by all who walk, bike, roll, drive and use transit.
As owner of the street, Hennepin County is collaborating with its partners — the City of Minneapolis and Metro Transit — to improve the corridor.
The three organizations have shared goals to:
- Enhance safety for people walking and rolling
- Improve transit times and reliability
- Reduce crashes
- Enhance overall user experience for everyone along the corridor
