Nicollet Avenue Reconstruction Planning Meetings

Wednesday, June 23rd
Zion Lutheran Church, 128 W. 33rd Street
Meetings from 4:00 to 5:30 pm & from 6:30 to 8:00 pm

The Nicollet Avenue Steering Committee will be hosting the first in series of public meetings on June 23rd concerning the reconstruction of Nicollet Avenue.  The meetings will be held at Zion Lutheran Church both meetings will have an identical format, to allow people to attend at the time most convenient for them.   The purpose of the meetings is to gather input from residents, businesses, property owners, and community members about issues along the corridor and people’s  vision for the future Nicollet Avenue.

The reconstruction of Nicollet Avenue is currently scheduled to begin in 2012 and will take two years to complete.  The construction process will involve a complete street and sidewalk reconstruction   The reconstruction of Nicollet Avenue will be both a challenging time for neighborhood businesses and residents as well as an important opportunity to plan for the future and to encourage investment in the community.

We strongly encourage businesses and residents of Nicollet Avenue to attend one of these meetings.  All community members are welcome to attend and share their thoughts.  The Steering Committee hopes you will give us your input on this incredibly important community project throughout the process.  See the Nicollet Avenue Construction Web Page for background information and for other ways to provide input on the project.
