Hwy 7 study — Hopkins to St. Bonifacius
About this study
We
are studying Hwy 7 from Hopkins Crossroad in Hopkins to the western Hennepin County line in St. Bonifacius.This study will seek to understand the transportation needs of all users, identify opportunities for future improvements, establish a shared vision for improvement concepts among study partners, and develop and evaluate these concepts to inform the design of facilities that will be upgraded as part of a pavement resurfacing project planned for 2029 from Christmas Lake Rd. in Shorewood to 1 mile east of Mills St. in the City of St. Bonifacius.
From November 2021 through June 2022, a road safety audit was conducted on Hwy 7 from Hwy 100 in St. Louis Park to Carver Co. Rd. 33 in Hollywood Township. This audit recommended that a full planning study be completed to develop a plan for future improvements that includes access management, pedestrian and bicycle crossings, accessibility, highway signs, roadway signals, and lighting. This planning study will be informed in part by the road safety audit completed on this road.
