The City of Rochester is working to expand safe and convenient walking, bicycling and rolling (e.g., other mobility devices like scooters and wheelchairs) connections to and from the 2nd Street SW Corridor and the planned Link Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). We hope to learn from you through this process.

Three phases

Insight – The process of discovery

  • Creating partnerships, public engagement, and special events to support this effort.
  • Engaging people to identify active travel barriers and opportunities for improvement along priority routes within a mile of the 2nd Street SW Corridor.

Ideate – Turning key insight into actions

  • Exploring the active transportation infrastructure toolbox for techniques that can alleviate the barriers identified within the study area.

Iterate – Putting the plan together

  • Installing a demonstration project to test new concepts.
  • Finalizing high-quality and public-supported street concepts that enable the City of Rochester to move forward with complete streets infrastructure projects supporting the 2nd Street SW Corridor.

  • 11th Avenue SW Demonstration Project

    The City of Rochester would like to hear from you about the demonstration project on 11th Avenue SW between 2nd Street SW and Cascade Creek Trail near 3rd Street NW.  Demonstration projects are temporary roadway projects that use low-cost materials to test changes to the street before potentially investing in longer term solutions.  

    The goal of this project is to test out street and intersection changes to make walking and biking easier, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone. Your responses will help us understand how well the project meets these goals. 

    If you’d like to learn more about the project visit Rochester Active Transportation Connections: Linking with 2nd Street SW | Let's Talk Transportation - MnDOT or contact Mike Collins at mcollins@rochestermn.gov. 

    The project includes: 

    • Buffered and separated bike lanes 
    • Painted curb extensions  
    • Crosswalk and crossbike pavement markings 


    The survey should take about 5 minutes to complete. Your responses will remain confidential. Thank you for your time!
