The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is working to make University Ave. N.E. (Hwy 47) from Central Ave. S.E. to 27th Ave. N.E. in Minneapolis safer and easier to use. MnDOT has developed proposed changes to University Ave. N.E. based on recent studies and community engagement, such as the Highway 47/65 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study.

MnDOT is now seeking input from community members on the proposed changes. People can provide input by:

Taking a short online survey between now and June 30. The survey is available in English, Spanish and Somali.
Attending the public meeting on June 11, from 4:30-6:30 p.m., at Las Estrellas Dual Language Elementary School.

Community input will help create a proposed design layout for University Ave. N.E. Once developed, MnDOT will work with local partners to seek funding to make road improvements. This project is currently planned for 2027.
