Hennepin County, in coordination with the City of Minneapolis, is leading a roadway reconstruction project along CSAH 22 (Lyndale Avenue South) from 31st Street to CSAH 5 (Franklin Avenue). This project includes federal funding.
The Federal Highway Administration requires compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act, including completion of an architectural history survey for projects with federal funding. This survey will identify any significant or historical properties near the project that may be historically or culturally important and ensure they are considered and protected during the project. MnDOT will manage this survey, scheduled for completion in 2026.
Agreement PW 42-40-25 will authorize MnDOT and Hess, Roise and Company to complete the architectural history survey. MnDOT will pay 80 percent of the consultant cost; Hennepin County will pay 20 percent (estimated county cost is $13,500). Project funding is available in CP 2052300, with expenses tracked in associated subprojects CP 2052302 and 2052303.
