Lyndale Neighborhood Association

The City of Minneapolis is preparing to reconstruct Nicollet Avenue between Lake Street and 40^th Street for a total length of 1.2 miles. The project will include new pavement, with new curb and gutter, sidewalk, turf boulevards, trees, and utility work as needed.  The project is planned to be constructed in the 2012 and 2013 construction seasons.

LNA is currently collecting information from local businesses about any holiday specials they are running in December.  We are going to include the information in our next E-News and on Lyndale.org to help community members know what their options are for shopping local this year. 

Please let Mark or Norma know if your business is running any specials this holiday season.  Check out the full Lyndale Holiday Shopping Guide.

Beginning in 2012 and continuing in 2013, Nicollet Avenue from Lake to 40th Streets will be reconstructed. Road reconstruction will include much more than a modified street design, but will also include work to the underground storm sewer, repair of the water main and sanitary sewer, and upgrade traffic signals.
The City of Minneapolis hosted two Nicollet Avenue construction meetings for residents and businesses on October 12th. These meetings followed the roadway layout approval by the City Council on September 2nd, which established the street width and curb locations.

In 2008, Mo leased the commercial space on the corner of 33rd and Grand. He had decided he was going to become a proud owner of a great little grocery store.

Because the store needed many repairs, Mo spent around $40,000 to fix and clean it up. The store is very well stocked, the shelves are neat and orderly. Mo said his goal is to keep his prices as low as possible, hoping neighbors will shop his grocery store rather than going to the big box stores. He also said if you have a certain product you want him to stock just let him know and he will do his best to get it.
