About this project
Hwy 47/University Ave. project location map
We are working to make Hwy 47/University Ave. between 37th Ave. in Columbia Heights and just north of 85th Ave. in Blaine safer and easier to use. We want to make sure everyone can use University Ave. safely and comfortably, whether they walk, roll, ride a bike, use public transit, or drive a car or truck.
We are asking for community feedback about proposed changes developed through the Hwy 47/Hwy 65 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study. This input is needed to understand what improvements should be made to to this section of Hwy 47.
We are currently studying the alternatives that would be possible for this section Hwy 47. Once an alternative is chosen and a design established, we will seek funding to make road improvements along with our local partners.
Summary of work
- Study Hwy 47 to determine safety improvements
- Engage with the public on design alternatives
- Coordinate design with other highway projects and the planned Metro Transit F-Line route
- Determine other improvements for this project during the public engagement and design process
- Set the project up to pursue future funding
