Hwy 47 & Hwy 65 — Planning study

View full-size map

Thank you to the thousands of people who have shared your comments on transportation conditions in this vibrant area of the Twin Cities metro. We combined your feedback with safety and mobility data to identify problem areas. Through this engagement and analysis, we learned the primary transportation needs along these roads are to improve safety for people walking, biking, and driving. Also, the pavement condition of both roads needs improvement.

Now, we are developing concepts to meet these needs.

In summer 2022, more than 500 people commented on ideas like different types of roadways, new intersection designs, and access changes at driveways and cross streets. These include parkway treatments, intersection curb bump-outs, better pedestrian crossings, roundabouts, and dedicated bike lanes.

We are now combining these concepts into groups of improvements that work well together to meet users’ needs. See opportunities for how you can participate and add your feedback on this webpage. If you’re not already on the study’s mailing list, be sure to sign up below to get the latest updates!
